What is GALAX?

GALAX is a social networking site and app and is operated and managed by "X".

GALAX Features:

Avatars & user profiles

Users of GALAX interact online in a way similar to games like The Sims. Users can create and customize avatars with clothes that they design as well as decorate their virtual rooms.

Gamification

GALAX utilizes gamification, a concept in which video game mechanics such as achievements and points are applied to real world uses to make people more efficient and productive through positive reinforcement. Rewarding users with points for helping people and "updating the world".

Search engine data mining

"X" uses information on users and pairs them with the most compatible results when someone needs help or for emergency stiuations. (Ex. A young mother wanting legal advice on her noisy neighbor waking her baby, "X" contacted a lawyer who was sitting nearby.) It can also be used to search for information from the internet. All of it is activated by pressing an "X" button on a users smartphone screen and inputting a voice command, similar to Apple's Siri software.

Video streaming

GALAX features streaming video and web broadcasts of news reports.

Voice chat & instant messaging (IM)

Users can communicate with each other via text messages in a virtual world with their avatars or voice chat.

X

"X" is an artificial intelligence which manages GALAX and aggregates its data.
