Objective
Our primary objective was to develop a fun, user-friendly application integrating photography, augmented reality (AR), and social media sharing for cycling enthusiasts.
Meet the Client
Flandrien Cam is an app designed for overlaying cycling-related objects onto photos. It provides a platform for users to engage with cycling events, plan routes, learn about points on a map, and contribute to the marketing of regional events. The app leverages GPS and mapping technologies, like Google Maps and Open Maps, offering both online and offline functionalities.
Historical Background
& Current Situation
Understanding current trends, Leaware took up the challenge to develop Flandrien Cam, intending to propagate cycling events and engage users in a unique, entertaining way.
Challenge
The customer’s requirement was to popularize cycling events by offering cycling enthusiasts the opportunity to take pictures with cycling overlays, transform into a ‘Flandrien’ – a persistent, all-weather cyclist – and share these images on social media.
Solution
In the development of Flandrien Cam, Leaware made several improvements to our internal process, which reflected in the app’s user-friendly interface. The app’s filters allow users to transform into a Flandrien and share their photos on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and Instagram. Furthermore, users can connect to any system and store data offline, enabling the app to function without constant internet access.
