Description

Clashers is a synchronized,location-basedmusic app, which enables users to discover
what people around them are listening to, simultaneously withthem.By using the
physical world to find digital media, “Clashers” allows userstoenrich their world while
engaging with it.
How does it work? The app displays profile pictures of alluserswithin 30 meters range.
A press on a profile picture opens a YouTube video, which playsthesame song the
chosen user is listening to. The video starts playing at theexactsame second the chosen
user was when the “clash” occurred, enabling a sharedexperience.Finally, the app
saves the details of the “clash” for future enjoyment.
Clashers does not consume a lot of battery like other locationbasedapps. It samples
the GPS component only when the user opens the app, or whentheusers listen to
music on their phone. Plus, the samples’ frequency changes ifthereare no users nearby.
Clashers was developed by the Media Innovation Lab (miLAB) oftheSammy Ofer School
of Communication in IDC Herzeliya.
