MR in the City Mixed Reality

Product overview: MR in the City (New York) is a social networking service that puts the city in a mixed virtual reality. A user can check their neighborhood, get acquainted with the people living next door from the comfort of their home, go shopping, visit museums, and wander through parks. Everything one can typically do in New York City is possible in the app. Users can discover more about their neighbors just by tapping on their house's information. They can explore the far reaches of the city and visit local areas as well.

Issues: Our team needed to create an incredible, smooth, and engaging social networking app, implementing numerous advanced features. We had to implement the abilities for users to browse locations, photos, share pictures, and visit each other in an innovative way. We needed to collect Big Data from all available sources, correctly locate all buildings and other constructions, and allow people to virtually interact with each other. At the same time, the app had to be cost-effective.

Technologies used: iOS, Android SDK, Oculus.
