AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 21, 2020 — Continuing from last year, Stroly is participating in SXSW (South by Southwest) Conference and Festivals event that is taking place in the city of Austin, Texas as the official map sponsor. The map displays more than 2,000 pieces of useful information about all the available conferences, events, exhibits, and transportation. It will be available online through Stroly’s map platform, making the graphic map usable with real-time GPS location information.
Stroly Inc., (Head office: Kyoto, Japan, Co-CEO: Machi Takahashi) developer and operator of an online map platform service, participated as the only Japanese startup in a highly competitive pitch event of SXSW 2019 that selected only 50 finalists out of 800 submissions. With its innovative services, Stroly will continue to contribute to the SXSW 2020 where global leaders bring together new ideas from around the world.
SXSW is held throughout the downtown Austin area including exhibitions of new technologies, and festivals of music and films. In this grand-scale event, Stroly provides interactive experiences of over 2,000 events information via mobile devices.
An official map with all the conferences, live concerts, facilities with exhibits, and modes of transportation available is an important source of information for participants. More than 45,000 maps are handed out during the multiple-day event.
With the patented technology developed by Stroly, maps available online not only have the same design as those printed on paper but add the feature of GPS coordinates in real time to make the experience of the official map interactive via mobile devices.
Moreover, users are able to zoom in/out, scroll over the map, and display a variety of information about movie theaters, hotels, stages, modes of transportation, food recommendations, and locations of sponsor booths with Landmark pins to move smoothly from one place to the other.
