NYCxDESIGN live pilot
Turn Design Week into a living map of objects, showrooms, people, and intent.
A near-term test surface for NYCxDESIGN: capture what people notice across showrooms, fairs, installations, talks, and neighborhoods, then turn it into memory, route, taste overlap, and host value.
Privacy boundary
aggregate safeVisitors keep private memory and follow-up. Galleries, sponsors, partners, and Basel see aggregate proof only, with named follow-up shared by opt-in.

VIVERE
The archive can become a guide, route, audio trail, or hosted world.
Portable memory layer
This event artifact can travel into passport.
Generated with the same memory adapter as scanner, home, passport, and post-event, so the event-intelligence demo is no longer a separate storytelling shell.

- - Objects blur together in photos.
- - Follow-up with showrooms is scattered.

Product action
Turns each saved object, room, talk, or showroom into a taste thread, route, follow-up, and opt-in overlap.
A personal Design Week thread: what they loved, where to go next, who to meet, and what to remember.
