NEXT
A multi-person audio social application
How does it work?
NEXT is a multi-person voice chatting social platform that allows applicants who want to study abroad to communicate with overseas students to share and obtain knowledge.
Why is it needed?
Applicants develop more confidence when they receive information from students already at the school of their dreams; this knowledge could also help their applications be successful. The chat room is designed using an environment that has never been explored to create a space like a bonfire or a deep alley pub that encourages people to chat in an immersive way and makes them feel free to share.
How does it improve life?
NEXT provides overseas students with revenue, personal IP, and a sense of accomplishment. It explores future forms of online education and the application of VR.
