Feel directionless or have difficulty reading maps?


Feel directionless or have difficulty reading maps?

Fortunately you’re not alone in this dread.
Trying to do two things at once can be a real task sometimes. Focusing on the road and trying to follow satellite navigation is not the easiest let alone trying to read a map whilst travelling; talk about the stress of getting lost!

Imagine how Joey off Friends felt in London when he tried to find his way around, he had to actually step into the map!
I have been in this situation myself. Travelling to places I don’t know makes me anxious to begin with and then there’s the challenge of trying to find my way around. I have been lost in areas I have no idea then the dread comes, where am I and how will I make it back.

When I arrive somewhere I like to feel comfortable knowing that I am familiar with surroundings and what I am going to expect on arrival. skignz can finally reassure me with this by allowing me to skignz places up with virtual signage before I go. I can spoof my phone to view the atmosphere before I even arrive and also place a sign any place of my choice so when I arrive, using my smart phone or tablet I can view this virtually through either.

The Mail Online states that ‘Eighty-three per cent of people own a road map, but only one third permanently carry it in their car’ and that now ‘Britain’s’ map-reading skills are fading as our reliance on digital navigation grows’.
This is showing that digital navigation is now taking over and skignz can help you find your way around a whole lot easier, cheaper and less hassle!

I’m sure you have got lost at some point and find it difficult to use a map?
Well start discovering skignz and see how this will improve your travels.

Let us know if you have been lost or if skignz has helped you!

How skignz can improve University life




Uni Life

Going to University can be quite a daunting experience so getting lost is the last thing you need. skignz is the new way to find your way around campus. Virtual signage above buildings and places of interest, let’s you know exactly where to go, making finding your way a whole lot easier.

All you need to do is download the skignz app to your smart phone or tablet and away you go. The skignz will appear instantly above halls, campus buildings, parking facilities and refreshment providers. All you need to do is follow the skignz as it guides you.

That’s not all… skignz can also be used as a social tool. Placing a skignz above your head will allow your friends to point you out in a crowd. How much easier will the graduation ball be? How much more fun would nights out be? How much quicker would it be to find that house party?


skignz is your new communication channel. Its possibilities are endless.

Its a Z'wap


It’s a Z'wrap

Our skignz team members re-visited their youth with a round of Zap lollies. They used the multi-coloured delights as props whist filming promotional footage at Saltburn-by-Sea and Seaton Carew - or so they tell us!

The footage explores the functionality of skignz; placing them above the toilets, refreshment providers, above the life guard station and at the much loved ice-cream van. The video highlights the safety aspect of skignz as well as the practical usage for any user visiting the coast.

The social and fun element of skignz was also investigated using typical beach equipment and skignz technology.

A group of volunteers were eager to get involved, demonstrating how they could use skignz to enhance the fun factor in their regular activities.

The guys used tennis rackets as goal posts with a skignz virtual goal to make the game more interactive and fun for all players.
