Ever wished you could just poof to Paris for the weekend? Or maybe spend the day exploring Rome or experiencing Madrid? What would London be like without the Olympic crowds? Now you can find out courtesy on the new Unique iPhone App that teleports armchair travelers to some of the world’s most amazing destination for more than five hours of interactive and downloadable travel.
“The Web and mobile devices have triggered a real mutation in the world of travel,” asserts Paul Verdy, president and founder of Unique. “In order to meet the needs of the nomads that we’ve all become, Unique intends to reinvent the destination guide. Our microguides are a completely multimedia driven experience, teeming with videos and with interactions that bring to life key addresses in the world’s biggest cities. This whole endeavor was expressly conceived with computers, tablets and smartphones in mind, this is the era of Apple. Our microguides are short and pack a wallop; this is the era of Twitter. Lastly, our microguides are also “your microguides”. Everyone can easily create and share their own recommendations with their friends and their networks, this is the era of Facebook. It is,” Paul Verfy concludes, “this innovative hybrid between content put together by an editorial team as well as a passionate community, that truly makes us Unique.”
The Unique iPhone App and the microguides provided by the company’s editorial team are wonderfully useful for role players because the video teleports them inside some of the most famous bars, restaurants, cafes and attractions in some of the world’s most popular destinations. The extra details, and as the commentary from proprietors, chefs and even customers will help you give your RP the feel of realty without the hassle and expense of traveling there.
Budding travel writers will also be thrilled to discover the Unique App allows them to add their own favorite local spots. These photos and descriptions aren’t as polished or interactive as those designed and developed by the editorial team but they do offer random glimpses into cities around the globe that can be useful for travelers or RPers.
