SeeYou App – Create your Party Invites with Augmented Reality

The creation of your next party invite will not only be easy and playful, it will also be full of impressive visual effects: The app "SeeYou" by LBS Nord will provide an exceptional Augmented Reality experience just for this purpose.

Users can create individual invitations and send greetings for a wide variety of occasions. The chosen setting is personalized with (sometimes shrill) 3D objects, own texts, photos or videos - even a giant flamingo can be placed on your living room table. After finishing the composition, an invitation is created, which then can be shared with your prospective guests as an image or video via WhatsApp, Messenger or directly in social networks such as Instagram Stories.

d-SIRE has been responsible for the cross-platform app development as well as for the UX and UI design. The app is available as a free download for iOS and Android in the respective App Stores.

Digital accessibility becomes mandatory for all public sector bodies

The first stage of the directive 2016/2102, with which the European Union has significantly extended accessibility requirements regarding the public sector, has entered into force on September 23, 2018.

Aktion Mensch: Familienratgeber relaunched

The online portal "Familienratgeber" provides a great variety of valuable content and services for people with disabilities and their families.

Two aspects have been identified as essential as the starting point of the user journey: On the one hand, the local vicinity to a counselling center, on the other hand, the specific living conditions of people. A nationwide database enables the search for regional offerings which can be filtered by various attributes. The Familienratgeber connects people with over 25,000 initiatives, organizations and social services. Access to extensive information is achieved by selecting from phases of life and by a topical structure.

d-SIRE has redesigned the Familienratgeber visually and implemented it responsively in order to offer the best possible experience on all devices.
