the strength of Airbnb over its competitors is that it lets you feel like you belong

00:05.940 --> 00:08.029
in a place you've never been to.

00:08.540 --> 00:10.730
Unfortunately,

00:10.890 --> 00:14.660
the human interaction that makes this possible doesn't always happen.

00:14.690 --> 00:18.080
So how do we ensure that people who use Airbnb

00:18.090 --> 00:20.750
always feel like they're a part of the community?

00:21.900 --> 00:24.070
One of the things people do to feel like

00:24.070 --> 00:26.740
they're part of foreign places is leave marks,

00:27.050 --> 00:31.350
They carve wars and even leave behind physical objects or messages

00:32.740 --> 00:34.400
introducing Air marks,

00:34.570 --> 00:39.040
an augmented reality feature in the Airbnb app that allows guests

00:39.040 --> 00:43.130
and hosts to interact by sharing their stories through digital Marks

00:47.190 --> 00:48.850
with their Marks.

00:48.860 --> 00:53.960
Guests can also create Marks and tag them on any surface in an Airbnb,

00:55.260 --> 00:58.150
hosts can also leave personal stories

00:58.260 --> 01:00.980
to help guests feel more connected to their new home

01:03.860 --> 01:09.420
or tips on how to make the most of their trip. They can also include photos or videos.

01:12.720 --> 01:18.250
So when you enter an Airbnb you're stepping into an entire collection of stories

01:18.470 --> 01:19.490
that you can access

01:19.640 --> 01:21.350
and also contribute to

01:23.640 --> 01:41.667
a way to belong in every home, you visit Airbnb every home a new story
