Aquvix

Aquvix is the companion app for the Aquvix self-following rescue buoy, available to rent at partner beaches and resorts. The buoy stays with you in the water. It follows your wrist tag at the distance you choose, comes closer when you call it, and raises an emergency request when you hold the button. Aquvix shows you all of it on your phone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick up a rescue buoy and wrist tag at the front desk. 2. Open Aquvix, register once, and scan the QR code on the tag. 3. Read the two-page guide, start your session and go for a swim. 4. End the session in the app and return the equipment. WHILE YOU SWIM - Live map: your buoy and your position, the distance between them and your current coordinates - Swim path: a dotted trail of where you have been, and a Tracking view of the whole session - Equipment status: battery for both the buoy and the wrist tag, signal strength and last sync - Conditions: air and water temperature, wind and wave height at your beach - Reconnect: one tap to re-establish the link if the signal drops TWO WAYS TO USE THE TAG Press once and the buoy leaves its following distance to come right up to you. Press and hold and the buoy comes to you while an SOS goes to the facility's safety desk. IF AN SOS IS RAISED Aquvix switches to the rescue screen and stays there until the incident is resolved, showing: - where the SOS was raised and how far you have drifted since - the rescuer approaching from the shore station - a timeline from the request through acknowledgement, dispatch, arrival and completion - a direct call button to the safety office Family or friends on shore can follow the same screen on their own phone. MADE FOR THE WATER - Large, high-contrast readouts for wet screens in bright sun - No login and no password; setup takes under a minute - Your phone's location is never used, positions come from the buoy itself SETTINGS Choose how closely the buoy follows, from 1 to 10 metres, and switch between metres and yards or Celsius and Fahrenheit. Changes apply straight away. REQUIREMENTS An Aquvix rescue buoy and wrist tag rented from a participating facility, and a network connection.
