Furthermore, it is very specific regarding the location it designates. This app does not let you open the message till it receives the data of the person accessing the message and synchronizes it with the location address specified by the sender. It executes this task of managing and ensuring exact location by monitoring the data received by GPS. To send a trace, the sender simply selects a person from their contact list, drops a pin in the map where they want it to be visible – and for how long – and then uploads whatever content they want to leave there. Recipients of a trace get an alert on their phone with a map showing where their message can be collected – and who has sent it. “Instead of reading tweets in a random location you can choose the location to add context to your delivery,” says Beau Lotto CEO of Ripple Inc. The app exploits aspects of human psychology that Lotto, also a research neuroscientist at University College London, thinks will make it more engaging than traditional social media. This app can even let you trigger special memories with your receiver for example, you could leave a piece of music for someone in a location meaningful to both of you, like where you first met; taking the level of romance to a whole new level even being miles of distance apart.
