Aako Inc is a organization aiming to redefine social media by combining augmented reality (AR) with geo-spatial interaction using "echoes"—audio content tied to real-world locations. This creates a unique, immersive way for users to explore and interact with places and with each other. The Aako website was designed to reflect the brand's minimalist aesthetic while providing intuitive navigation across its key features.
Designed to be clear and engaging, the waitlist page explained the benefits of early access with straightforward titles and intuitive buttons. After sign-up, a separate window highlighted user consent for newsletters, followed by a thank you page to inform users of the next steps.
The map page featured a dynamic title and a 3D globe model to visualize the echoes' locations. The design emphasized geo-location links and included a template for users to create their own echoes, enhancing engagement. The initial version has a flatter UI/UX (Figma), while the later version consists of a 3D model effect and better transitions to emphasize Aako's immersive XR themes (After Effects).
A simple, user-friendly design included expandable sections to keep the layout uncluttered. Essential information like the last edit date and contact links was easily accessible, ensuring transparency and user trust.
Maintaining the clean, pink-themed design, the about us page provided concise information about Aako’s identity and mission. The layout was both simplistic and informative, helping users quickly understand what Aako stands for and does.
