Permission utilizes Augmented Reality as a safe, secure and fun way to obtain sexual consent.
ePlay Digital Inc. (CSE:EPY) today announces that they have licensed their Augmented Reality (AR) Game Engine for use in a new app, currently under development, called Permission. Permission offers a safe, secure and fun way to begin a conversation about sexual consent. Permission, embraces #metoo and aims to change the world, by offering a simple and user-friendly platform anybody can trust.
The Permission app team is led by a medical doctor, a Hollywood-based sports broadcaster with her own #metoo story, and supported by ePlay and its team. The deal is a mix of revenue and equity in Permission. Medical doctor and occupational medicine specialist, Dr. Jalees Razavi came up with the idea for a sexual consent app that includes tests to give an individual insight into their own state of intoxication, helping make sexual consent safe, fun and secure.
“We all see the consequences of not obtaining sexual consent,” says Dr. Jalees Razavi. “I wanted to make sure there was also a way to ensure that consent was reliable, so testing for one’s capacity to give consent and alerting individuals who are under the influence was important. I knew ePlay’s team would figure out a way to do this using augmented reality and I’m thrilled to have Lindsay McCormick on the Permission team.”
Lindsay McCormick and others have joined Permission as key advisors. Lindsay is a Los Angeles based sports broadcaster with her own high profile #metoo story that hit Newsweek, CNN, and USA Today in December 2017. The team is dedicated to making sexual consent fun in order to initiate conversation widely. The announcement is timed to initiate conversation about Permission as the first Valentine’s Day of the #metoo movement that has raised awareness of sexual consent approaches.
“The world is looking for a way to engage enthusiastically and manage risks,” says Lindsay McCormick, sports broadcaster. “It’s important that the data about individuals and partners sexual consent not be floating around in the cloud, but stored securely on users devices.”
“Permission brings popular augmented reality features of Pokémon Go together with Tinder,” says Trevor Doerksen, CEO of ePlay Digital. “We know that sexual consent must be safe and secure, but it doesn’t have to be boring?”
