openhousenewyork Weekend App Will Enhance Your Touring Experience

October 7, 2014

As if we weren’t looking forward to openhousenewyork Weekend enough, a new app to help guide and organize tour goers has us even more excited.

Created through a partnership with dsgnfix, the free, location-based iPhone app “enables users to search, discover, and share design destinations and experiences.” During OHNY weekend (October 11-12) those with the app downloaded will be able to scroll through all of the 150 free Open Access sites, organized by the user’s real-time location.

From now until the Weekend, OHNY will be dsgnfix’s “featured curator.” In addition to seeing sites as a list, users can view them as a map. They can also post and share photos and tidbits they discover during the event.

Dsgnfix is an iPhone app that creates a mobile design community, featuring a rotating roster of guest curators. Download the OHNY Weekend app here, and learn more about openhousenewyork here.
