Maperia — a social places database

The first POI locator with real social-network features: events and places nearby, described by the people who go there.

The challenge

Connect a places database with community life, so users always know what is happening around them.

What we built

Maperia — the first POI locator with real social-network functionality, keeping its users informed about events and places in the neighbourhood. We then took it into augmented reality: Maperia’s layer in the Layar browser was the first Polish AR data layer, with international reach.

Scope

Web application, AR layer (Layar), places and objects data.
