What Exactly Is HikeLand?
Hike, the messaging application, has now launched its new feature HikeLand which will change the way you hang out. HikeLand is the world’s first mobile virtual space that is an Indian reimagination of the social network. Well, this new feature will help people cope with this new norm of social distancing. It provides a virtual space where you can have the most of your time with your friends, and that too, with a realistic feeling. As of now, one can watch videos with friends on HikeLand with chat messaging and voice calling options. The corporate has already rolled out the early preview of this new update.
What’s Exciting In Virtual Hangouts From HikeLand?
HikeLand, in its preview, allows a maximum of two friends to sit in a room and watch TV together. Sit together from different homes? Well, this is how Hikeland works. There are two virtual platforms on HikeLand: Home Screen and Big Screen. Users can select their preferred design for the virtual hangout.
The Home Screen view will be a private space where one can hang out with favourite people just like in personal life. On the other hand, Big Screen will bring together like-minded people with the content they love. It’s like bumping into new people in a theatre. Right now, the app streams content from YouTube for users, but soon many upgradations will be there.
Apart from this, the mobile app feature also allows one to chat and talk with friends while watching the videos.
What Next For HikeLand?
Kavin Bharti Mittal, Founder & CEO of Hike, said that HikeLand is a combination of two words: magical and safety. It is a magical platform because people can imagine their hangouts and safety because it is all in the virtual world.
Mittal stated that the goal is to listen to their users’ views on the preview and understand what works, and whatnot. The team wants to know what more the users need in building the next experiences.
The new update is available for preview on both Android and iOS devices. If you want to check out HikeLand, then update the Hike Sticker Chat.
