Our idea is simple, but works
![Page 3: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
You won’t see fancy graphics in this presentation …
![Page 4: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We’ll explain the idea clearly though, so read on …

LOCO (LOCO) is a tentative name, we’ll tell you what it means at the
end …
![Page 6: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
LOCO is a social app … it’s not a game.
![Page 7: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
It’s an app for making friends, but …
![Page 8: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We’re NOT planning something like Facebook or Twitter …
![Page 9: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
LOCO is more like Skout or Tinder, but we’ll add a twist
![Page 10: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
LOCO is aiming to match users for language exchange.
![Page 11: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ask yourself, what’s the best way to learn a language?
![Page 12: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Buying books? Going to schools? No ….
![Page 13: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Our belief:
The best way of learning language is by making ‘friends’ who speak that
language.
![Page 14: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Feel free to interpret ‘friends’ as boyfriends or girlfriends, so you
know, that’s why it works, hehee …
![Page 15: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How to match users? Simple, match by language!
![Page 16: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
For example
![Page 17: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
User A, speaks Chinese and English, wants to learn Japanese
![Page 18: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
User B, speak Japanese and English, wants to learn Chinese
![Page 19: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
User A & B is a match!
![Page 20: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
They can start chatting, who knows what will end up … hehee
![Page 21: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Users can actively search, or let LOCO to notify you whenever the
system finds you a match ! ♥
![Page 22: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
You may ask, are there similar apps in the market?
![Page 23: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Yes, there are some. If you search ‘language exchange’ on Google Play for instance, you’ll see quite a few.
![Page 24: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
One of the best ones is called HelloTalk, it has 100-500k installs,
rating is 4.1. The matching algorithm is nearly the same as what we
intended to do, but …
![Page 25: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Most of these apps focus on learning language, but LOCO focuses on
matching and chatting, it’s not a tool, it’s a fun app to make friends!
![Page 26: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Like in HelloTalk, when you start chatting, you’ll see rules like this:
![Page 27: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In LOCO, there are no rules. We don’t care about your intention.
![Page 28: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
So yes, our idea is simple. That’s it? No ...
![Page 29: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Apart from ‘Matching by language’, LOCO has another key feature, we
tentatively call it ‘Community’.
![Page 30: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Community is a place where you can ask questions towards a particular culture, let users who are familiar
with that culture to provide you the best answer.
![Page 31: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
For example
![Page 32: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
You're planning a trip to Tokyo in summer, you'd like to know what are the best matsuri (祭り ) in summer
time.
![Page 33: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
You can go to the Japanese Zone in Community, like how a forum
works.
![Page 34: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Our belief:
What’s better than getting an answer from local people?
![Page 35: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Community enables users to interact with each one another,
and most importantly …
![Page 36: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
It’s a place to discover more friends, and let users to discover you!
![Page 37: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
We’ll skip the boring details here, like registration, location by GPS,
monetization etc etc.
![Page 38: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
It’s nearly the end of presentation, don’t close it ! Read on …
![Page 39: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
To illustrate the idea of LOCO, we’ll show you an image:
![Page 40: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

To summarize it … LOCO is a social app for making friends who speak
the languages that you prefer, and a place where you can interact with other people who share the same
interest towards a culture.
![Page 42: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Guess what, we’ll tell you on 3 March
![Page 45: Project LOCO - submission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55c71603bb61ebbb268b45ab/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
