Ping You · sample, not built yet

One meet-up, two looks: Business and Alien

Same room, same people, same roll call. Business mode is a clean daytime map for restaurants, venues and tour groups. Alien mode keeps the green motion tracker for games and riding, now over an earth-tone ground so the radar and the streets stay readable together.

Alien mode

Green radar, earth under it

The radar stays phosphor green. The ground switches to soil and olive tones, so the streets read without fighting the scan.

When each mode shows

  • Restaurant, salon or venue links open in Business mode.
  • Survival games, convoy and touring open in Alien mode.
  • Anyone can switch for themselves; the room stays the same.

Before we build

  • Pick the ground colour for Alien mode (Desert, Topo or Night soil).
  • Venue facts (station, step-free, crowd) need a source: the organiser fills them in, or we look them up.
  • Apple Maps can't recolour streets freely, so the earth ground is a tint over its muted map; the sample shows the target look.
