Money Saving Apps

Dubai opened for tourism last year in July, and since the emirate is doing everything it can to make tourists feel safe in the country. And now, to ensure the safety of the tourists, a UAE-based company has launched a safety app just for them. The Epic reality, an AR-powered travel app, is designed to help tourists & locals navigate Dubai safely. Read on to know more about it.

Epic Reality App Helps Tourists Analyse Covid Risk Areas In Dubai

Epic reality is launched from Modus Captial’s Venture studio and is available for download on Android and iOS devices. The app acts as a city guide for tourists. It helps to provide real-time updates on the safe and risk zones, as well as vital information related to COVID-19. It also provides updates on health precautions, including social distance practices, facial wear dress code policies, seating capacity, temperature checks, and relative exposure risk based on indoor vs outdoor activities etc.

Tourists Can Also Shop, Explore Events And Activities Using This App

Besides this, users can also use the app to know about the travel tours, events, sightseeing, cafes, and various other things that the city has to offer. Speaking about the app, Ahmad Daneshvar, Epic Reality Co-Founder, said,

“We are extremely excited to be able to allow travellers to enjoy Dubai in a safe and risk-free environment by helping them stay well-informed of the city’s health & safety measures. We want to provide travellers, and locals alike, with essential information on how to get around Dubai during the pandemic when health and safety concerns are top of mind.”

Lastly, the one-shop travel app uses AR technology, allowing users to rotate 360 degrees to explore everything hidden around them and receive personalized content based on their location and engagement. It uses augmented reality to display the latitude, distance, and altitude of any locale. The app is currently available for download only in Dubai and will soon be made available in the rest of the UAE.
