PiKuMi ツアー app for iPhone and iPad

What’s PiKuMi?
PiKuMi is an app for geolocative audio tours. On PiKuMi you can experience mobile audio stories and walking tours. It’s a Pick me up.
To be clear, PiKuMi is not a regular tour app. If you’re looking to listen in for some fun facts and real history about the environs you wish to explore, don’t PiKuMi.
PiKuMi if you want to be immersed in sound, if you want some time away from your screen, and if you want some food for thought. Especially PiKuMi if you are OK with a slow baste and lingering aftertastes.
PiKuMi Is about stretching the truth to fit a good yarn. A PiKuMi tour introduces tangents and perspectives on the listener’s environment. And most importantly it offers multiple perspectives on a single “tour”. If you’re looking for something a little different or strange or irreverent, that somehow seamlessly comes together as a whole, PiKuMi.



How to PiKuMi
Start by looking for walks nearby. From the main list you can browse and search for an experience of your choice. The closest ones will always show first.
As we grow, we will update content regularly. Please be patient with us as we try to get this right.
When youve found something you like the sound of, make your purchase. Then you can don your headphones and hit start. This will stream audio onto your mobile connection, so if you want to save your data, download the walk first.
For some tours, if you want to do a tour virtually, that’s fine too. Just download and listen in manual mode. Of course, we think it would be ideal if you could be there to experience this in person, but you can still enjoy a good yarn from the comfort of your living room.
To manually play content you will need to disable autoplay by hitting the pause button.
After youve started the experience, you can see your current position as the orange (?) dot. Entering an echo (zone on the map) will trigger that content, and the zone will highlight on the map.
To best experience PiKuMi, download the experience in advance, get yourself to the start location, and then put your phone in your pocket for a more immersive listening experience.
We created this app on the wonderful work of a company called Echoes. They have created this platform and it is filled with incredible sound possibilities that we think are perfect for this experience. Check them out if you can. If you have any problems, you can also visit the ECHOES website (echoes.xyz) or drop us a line at [email protected]
