Have a BEER* with YRGO
Mingling can be difficult and often feels impersonal, awkward, or stiff. The brief was to create an event app for this year’s YRGO Lia event that makes mingling easier and more fun.

When the user arrive at the event, the user creates a virtual beer can that works as their digital business card. It also includes the information and social media links they add during the design process.
The user can then scan and save other participants’ beer cans to in their virtual bar shelf. This makes it easy to keep track of the people they met and their contact details.
In research it was shown that introducing a third object to speak of when meeting new people feels helpful. In user tests we found that the personal touch of designing something of your own was highly regarded by the users and the curiosity to see what other user had designed was also of great interest to the testers. They liked the concept and saw a lot of potential use for the product.
