Kyros: explore storylines

Kyros is a multimedia storytelling platform centered around capturing and sharing group experiences. Inspired by the Greek word χρόνος, meaning an opportune moment, Kyros allows experience-seekers to collaboratively create storylines - bullet journals that capture experiences in a multifaceted digital timeline - with their friends/family and share them with inner circles and/or the world. The platform also allows people to use AR to explore their surroundings and discover the best crowd-sourced recommendations sourced from other Kyros users.
