With DUX, activate our AR mode by tapping the eye icon from the map screen.  Once in AR mode, the rear camera on your mobile device is activated and your physical location is monitored by DUX using standard GPS technology.

As you walk, stop, or turn left or right, relevant location-specific information comes into view, overlaid on top of the live camera image being displayed by your mobile device.

Show more/less items on your screen by adjusting how far out to pull in deals from, e.g, 5 metres away, or 500!

Each item shows the location/deal name, a photo, and a brief description. Tap any item for more details.

We hook you up with a familiar Apple or Google map so you can browse all location and deal goodness from a bird’s eye view, starting from your current location.

Deals and locations are highlighted by coloured icons.  Tap any icon for more information.

Only want to focus on your favs? Tap the favourite icon to only show locations previously marked as special by you, so you can just focus on the places you really want to visit.

Only want to focus on certain categories? Tap the filter icon to select which categories to show and which ones to hide. Your map will instantly update to reflect only the locations and businesses you really want to see.

You may simply like lists. If so, tap the list icon to browse all location and business information in a conveniently categorized list view. Again, categories will based on any filters you may have used, so you only listings most relevant to you. Tap any listing for further detail.

Once you tap the info icon from AR view, tap a location from 2D map view, or you physically arrive at a location, you will interact with a Location/Deal screen.

This screen contains the Location/Store name, one or more photos, and detailed deal/promo/etc. information. As with all screens, information can be viewed in both portrait (vertical) and landscape (horizontal) orientations.

Tap the heart icon to mark a location as one of your favs, to be easily located later. You can also share pictures and selfies of where you are and the awesome deals you are getting from DUX. We’ll connect you through text message, email, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Twitter, Skype.
