Summary

IceBreakerAR will bridge the virtual world with reality by providing a revolutionary tool that removes the core barriers which prevent humans from reaching out and interacting with one another. Users of IceBreakerAR will have the confidence to approach each other and be equipped with conversational tools which can assist initiating the interaction in an innovative and fun manner, from whether the user is seeking a relationship, friendship or networking/business opportunity. In addition, all user data is secured in the blockchain thereby providing the highest
standard of security and integrity.

The Problem

Dating, meeting and career networking websites and apps have not undergone a meaningful evolution since entering the market in the early 2000’s. The most recent progression is simply porting the website onto smart devices, but the mechanism has largely been passive. Users must create a profile, scroll through innumerable matches, strike a conversation and attempt to move the online connection to the real world. In addition, they suffer from the same core issues.


Solving the Problem

IceBreakerAR‘s solution is comprised of four components working in unison to provide a fun, secure and seamless user experience via:


iOS and Android
Users have the option of a quick profile creation to get up and running as quickly as possible, or a more detailed profile setup for higher quality matches. Once at least one profile from either Dating, Friendship or Networking has been created, the user can begin to scan the vicinity for matches. The user can also seamlessly switch between categories to scan if they created a profile in multiple categories

Augmented Reality
The application will provide an augmented reality experience for the user by enabling them to scan their surroundings for other IceBreakerAR users who meet or exceed their defined match threshold percentage. The match results are displayed in an augmented reality fashion where an avatar represents the matches, displays the match percentage and top likes/dislikes. This avatar can be customized with a selection of free or purchased accessories.

Retail Partners
To further the value added experience for users, IceBreakerAR will form retail partnerships to provide benefits to the User. Users benefit from discounts, retailers benefit from increased sales, IceBreakerAR benefits from happy Users and Partners, it is a win-win-win paradigm.
• Retailers who provide a modest discount for IceBreakerAR Users will show up on scans
• IceBreakerAR provides retailers a zero risk model that will attract net new sales
• Only after an agreed to level of sales to IceBreakerAR users will the retailer pay a portion of the sale to IcebreakerAR

Blockchain usage
1. Security
Traditional servers or data are generally centralized, making it a likely target for malicious attacks. By looking at the Equifax’s security breaches and other cybersecurity concerns arising in recent times. Instead of having a single or limited # of server’s that hackers can attack, decentralization via the blockchain greatly increases the difficulty. The more participants/nodes in a network, the more copies of the data there is. Therefore, if you want to tamper with the data, you will need to attack every single node on the network and alter all of their data simultaneously. Not only does blockchain make data tamper-proof, it is also hard to breach. Every “block” on a chain contains a certain amount of data, and when that block gets filled, much like a USB drive, it is encrypted and sealed forever. To get the full picture, hackers will need to hack not just the current block, but also every block before it. This is not only technically almost impossible, but it is costly, thereby reducing the incentive for malicious activities.

2. Redundancy/Disaster Recovery
Essentially we would have the same set of data distributed across the world, we wouldn’t need to worry if we lose a node. This provides data resilience to IceBreakerAR, which gives peace of mind from any data corruption, server downtimes, backups, etc..

3. Overhead/cost reduction
Having a decentralized network of nodes to maintain this ledger allows IceBreakerAR to offset and offload hosting, security, and maintenance costs. It removes a lot of the costs of IT staffing, Dev Ops, and infrastructural overhead.

4. Accountability

5. Permissioned Blockchains

6. GDPR Compliance

And I think that the main problem of such sites is that after you enter personal information into the database, after some time the information pops up on the network. The problem of confidentiality.

It's a great idea to permanently delete personal information. And mainstream social software desperately collect customer information to form a sharp contrast! What an attractive project!

Hi Beyeu you can read more in our whitepaper at https://www.icebreakerar.com/whitepaper.pdf or feel free to join our telegram group if you have any other questions https://t.me/IceBreakerAR

Hi ZhuldyzKaladinova, no the user icebreaker is not involved with us.
Facebook is indeed trying to launch that, they're also not live yet, competition none the less. Let's just put it this way, if Facebook approaches us the same way they did with snapchat, we won't say no, assuming they absorb the entire team and token isn't affected.

The project will be beneficial, but it seems to me it is not for Russia and the countries of the 3rd world.

The beauty of this is that it should work in any country, 1st world or 3rd world. Funny enough 3rd world countries are use mobile for EVERYTHING in contrast to the rest of the world.

One more project for Augmented Reality. I don't think that we really need so much projects for this. Please explain what the difference between your project and for example top5 other porjects related to  Augmented Reality?
