@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
@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.
@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...
@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!
i think that the coolest part about this app is the augment reality part, i don't understand the need for the rest of (building your own social network + photos) stick to just doing the really cool augment reality stuff - and work with that, i think its really cool!
@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)
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.
