On the surface, LOCI has built a new breed of safety training systems that make people smarter and more aware of their surroundings. Behind the scenes, we’re on a mission to change the way people interact with information based on where they are.
The brain is a super powerful spatial computer, and we’re applying our expertise in spatial web, autonomous networks, and virtual world-building to design ways for the brain to interface with place-based information in a naturalistic way. We’re liberating data from the second dimension and creating ways to gamify the world by turning any physical location into its own game generator.
We’re geeked on neuroscience, behavioral psychology, infrastructure, digital identity, data flows, and gamification. We’re constantly thinking about how to influence behaviour through learning to help people be more aware of their surroundings and able to respond effectively in emergency situations. We care about accessibility, inclusion, and representation because we believe every single person on earth deserves to be safe and have the opportunity to thrive.
We’re looking for someone whose passion and curiosity intersect with ours, and who can join a small team (plays well with others) and grow with us (an excess of personal accountability).
