Well if you have an Iphone and are brining it to Oxegen, there really is only one thing to have with you, be armed to the Teeth with the Oxegen Iphone app with a whole host of feature on it to help you enjoy the festival to the max. We are slightly disappointed there isnt a google android app going as we would be much bigger users of that but all the same this app looks really really impressive. Here’s the spiel on what it can do for you while you down in a field in punchestown.
Augmented Reality:
Find your way around Punchestown simply by holding up your phone and looking through the camera viewfinder.
The screen will show you all the points of interest – bars, food, water stations and lots more – you can even tag anywhere you want by GPS, like your tent, your car etc so you never get lost!
Our augmented reality feature is also fully integrated with Facebook – tapping on your friend’s name reveals their current status and location. There will be no more scenarios of getting lost and wandering around on your own. At the touch of a button you can invite your friends to where you are and post on their wall.
Don’t forget, your friends will also have to download the app and log in using Facebook Connect!
