Services like getchute.com use image recognition to make pictures with logos available to brands. They mostly use the pics for online advertising. In a sense, they broadcast the brand to a bigger audience than what you could make with one person in the street and offer a way to track how many people have seen / will see the ad.
How would you compete with those kind of services?
What would be the advantage(s) for a brand to offer free tshirts/stickers/caps to people so they can become "living ads"?
This kind of sponsor/ad thing has been working with celebrities, do you think everyone can be visible enough to be interesting for big brands?
Really cool.
You should add your baseline to your website ("Visualize, discover and share geotagged content") somewhere so people can understand what's your product about.
Thanks! That's a good idea. I definitely need to make some it easier to understand how to use it when you hit the landing page. Thinking about adding an explainer video too.
Hi,
This is a side project I've been working on with friends during our spare time.
As concertgoers, we were annoyed by all the lights and flashes created by smartphones during concerts so we made a little app to try to make concert halls a better place.
This is a great idea and I just downloaded it. Actually I will use it when I want to take stealthy pictures which I do frequently (not wanting the display to show).
However under ios6, after download, it isn't working. Opens up the splash screen then it just quits.
