NEAR HERE — immersive news app
Near Here is a site-specific audio news app that combines geolocation and mindfulness exercises to disrupt the way audio news stories are told and experienced. The project was done in collaboration with FUTURE PROJECTS, a full-spectrum production company with a focus on audio; and developed with an immersive journalism grant from the ONLINE NEWS ASSOCIATION’S Journalism 360 Challenge as a way to use immersive storytelling to advance journalism.
I worked as the sole Product Designer — taking the existing grant-winning proposal and turning it into a user-tested prototype as a proof of concept.
