@sirioz @stefano_iotti This looks great! Is it possible to really see other walls/messages nearby through the camera or is it more like a snapshot thing?

@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...

Awesome product - this will be fun (can't wait to see the first marriage proposal someone uses this for - or even a wicked city wide treasure hunt!)

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

One point of feedback I'd give - when sharing your "Wall" with a friend, it provides a web URL where they can just see your message! Surely this removes all incentive to actually go out and find it? I don't really understand the timeline of people's messages either - surely the whole point is to keep people engaged by having to actually go out and find these things to see them, rather than just scrolling through a list?

@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.

I absolutely love this idea! Happily sharing this in my weekly emerging tech newsletter. Going to be installing the app and leaving messages all around Sydney ;) Do you think you'll be opening an API or something for developers?

@thatpatrickguy at the moment, I don't know, we are focusing on product development. In the future for sure!

Am I the only one who sees huge potential for secret graffiti and protest communications? Who knows, maybe sometime in the future, there will be a "WallaMe revolution" in some country...

Love it... Really hating being an early adopter right now. In New York City and cant find any walls!! This is the new, cleaner, graffiti. Been thinking about other uses and monetization. Businesses having a sticker on their front door that unlocks a coupon. Workplace uses, placing a to-do on an employee's desk. Live polls (What do you think of this thing?) Noticed no funding listed on crunchbase. Didn't do much further research, are you guys self funded? Looking for investment? I see snapchat integration in this.
