Wallit App Allows Tagging Sans Spray Paint
Leave your virtual mark on a physical place with Wallit, an augmented reality app.
Unleash your inner badass by tagging local walls, sans spray paint or legal consequences.
Wallit is a new app that allows users to leave their digital mark wherever they may be. This 'graffiti' exists only in the virtual world, but the wall in question is connected with an actual, physical location. It's the self-proclaimed "only geo-social app connecting people to places through one-of-a-kind multimedia messages on augmented reality walls."
Equipped with location awareness, Wallit lets you record a 'tag' (including text, or video or audio clips) on the virtual version of the actual place you left it. The tag is only visible to other app users when they arrive at the location themselves. With the upgraded 1.1 "super walls" version of the app, tags may also be visible to other users in a similar area; for instance, if you tag a McDonald's, other users will be able to see it as they munch on their burger at another McDonald's.
Other users may choose to respond to your original tag, sparking interaction, or, in true street artist style, leave their own two cents to outdo yours.
