WallaMe

@mouadmohssine You got it!

@thestemado :-)

@stefano_iotti Again, this is great with much untapped potential, and I am trying to grasp the greater concept behind it as a marketing tool because it is definitely there. Here is my current mental road block: The ability to hide something in plain site seems to be the driving concept behind what WallaMe is and its greatest strength. If so, it seems that will also be its greatest usage by companies that have a niche of exclusive marketing. But as a marketing strategy corporate or private, it seems this will first be used with public availability, like a group of teenagers to hide the address of, I don't know, a party for instance from their parents on a frequently passed by outside building wall, and then as this is adopted by more and more, the users looking to hide something in plain site will have to switch to private invitation views only to maintain the hidden in plain sight concept. At that point, what why would someone choose WallaMe over say, just a group message to someone?

@thestemado Valentine's Day just around the corner, great launch timing!

@thestemado I have always thought an augmented reality treasure hunt would be a blast

@philipkuklis walls/messages are geolocalized in the place where you shot it. Other people can see them just going on that place and looking through the AR visor.

@sirioz @philipkuklis There isn't any sort of pattern recognition going on?

@lynnfredricks there is, we create a "features map" of the image, so we can match it when someone point the AR visor/camera on it.

@lynnfredricks Yes. If you want to get a good result you have to choose a wall (a target) that does not change over time: trees, sky, people and animals are not good targets as they move and change. Good targets are paintings, signs, sharp images...

@rueter @glennvdplaat Thank you both for your support.

@stefano_iotti get that Snapchat acquisition! Hyperlocal geofilters that appear wherever they are placed when you take Snaps. A library of pre-fabbed filters, including animated 3D objects. Hovering, on the wall, fixed in a physical location and dynamic to the movement of your device. Almost like MSQRD, but with anything and not just on a face. Very promising. Good luck to you!

@rickats Thank you Rick. WallaMe prototype has been complex to create. Now we need customer feedback to drive product development.

@stefano_iotti Absolutely, i think you guys shipped a bit much (from product perspective, social network wasn't really needed) really the coolest thing i see about it is the AR with camera, would be cool if u instead of photos made it somehow recordable via video (GPU Filters) i'm sure its doable but I would take it in that direction - that's the wow factor for me, photos just make it feel like anything else (snapchat, instagram)

@weheartscott Hi Scott, thank you for your feedback. When you share a wall privately, with some friends, there is no URL for them, they have to go out and discover the Wall. The web URL is only for public Walls, so you can share your creation with all the world, and this is another point: you can see "in clear" only Walls very far from you. The timeline let you see only public Walls far from you, so you can enjoy creations from all the world. The Walls around you are "hidden" and you have to go there to see them.

@sirioz Thanks for the reply - it's looks as though you've already taken this stuff into consideration! The fundamental idea of the app is really really cool, so just wanted to get my head around it.
