We are presenting you a virtual home (in 2D, 3D, or VR), in which anything is possible: social networking, chat, video telephony, photography, listening to music, reading, surfing the web, furnishing your apartment, playing games, petting your virtual pet, or simply relaxing. Immerse yourself into the fascinating world of connect!
About this project
Describing an app that offers unlimited possibilities is not that easy. However, we want to provide you with a short overview of all the things you can look forward to in our innovative project. connect is a Digital Life Network that is free of charge, and can be experienced in 2D, 3D, or VR (with VR glasses). In this app – which is, on a side note, compatible with almost all devices – anything is possible that the internet has to offer. In your virtual loft, which can be accessed through your smartphone, your tablet, your Mac or PC, or your gaming console, you can stream music and videos, just to give one example. Further, you can answer messages, read newspapers, or play games.
Customizable
The entire app is customizable up into its minutest detail, and therefore perfectly matches your personal taste. Customizability begins with the furniture and accessories that can be found in your loft, and goes on to the choice of your window view, or your own handwriting. You are an art-lover? Go ahead and decorate your loft with art from a diversity of artists, your own photography, or own art. You prefer following the news in international media? Thanks to a worldwide media-cooperation, content of various big newspapers and magazines will be available to you free of charge, just the same as films, radio programs, and web portals. You are looking for distraction from your school-, university-, and office-duties? Go and pet your virtual pet, or just engage in playing games. Sounds complicated? Don’t worry – due to our easy operability, all our app functions can be found quickly and easily. This is the result of our photorealistic depiction of objects, into which we have put a lot of effort, know-how, and love. With all that, you can operate everything just like you would in real life.
Multi-Messenger
In the organizer on your virtual desk, you can bring together all contacts from a wide range of online networks, and reach them via virtual envelope. This is true for the phonebook- and email-contacts, but also for friends from other social networks or messenger services. You can, thus, from the beginning on reach more people than inside of Facebook, even though they might not be using connect at that point.
Data Security and Encryption
The special feature of our social network is that we – unlike our competitors – do not aim at collecting our users’ data. Our number one aim is maximum data protection and keeping the user’s private sphere. Messages sent via connect are end-to-end encrypted; through our individually customizable user surface, each user only reveals as much as he or she wants. As we are therefore also unable to sell personal information (and do not want to, either) we started looking for alternative sources of income: We will finance our business through voluntary product placement, in-app-purchases, and virtual shopping. This way, our app can remain free of charge forever, and will operate without forced advertising, and guarantee maximum data protection at the same time.
Why it pays off to invest in connect
In order to provide connect with its finishing and start our project we need your help.
We not only offer you a modern, data-secure, and exciting enhancement to Facebook and co through our app, but also treat your investment with funny gimmicks. Depending on the height of your contribution, you will receive strictly limited app content, such as a worldwide unique tiger-duckling with a one-of-a-kind feather pattern, the option to gold-plate everything in your room, an exclusive watch, or a completely new home that should live up to your expectations: the Oval Office. As these objects are only available through a Kickstarter-investment, and only available in strictly limited numbers, they will gain high value at a later moment. All objects are transferrable, and you can swap with friends, give them away as presents, or sell them for real money.
