Augmented Reality Ski/Snowboarding app for mobile phones

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 00:56:57 GMT

Evening all,

I'm in the process of making an augmented reality phone app for skiers and snowboarders, I'm a university student and as part of my market research I've produced a questionnaire. This app will actually be going on the market completely free of charge. Therefore if you wouldn't mind filling in this short questionnaire I'd greatly appreciate it! This uses a

new technology but all is explained in the link, there is currently nothing on the market similar, and I'm hoping to get in there first and do so for free, so if you wouldn't mind taking 2 minutes of your time to fill this out, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks, sorry if this is in the wrong place mods/admins.

EDIT: the last page that includes "additional comments" if you ignore the "next page" link it may save you some confusion, that is the end of the questionnaire :)

Completed. If you can get it to work as you say, it sounds very useful. I like some of the additions you have suggested, especially the panic button. It would be great if that could be guaranteed to inform local services of your exact location.

Please do not make this I-Phone only though. That would be a great shame. Please also let us know how you get on and if it becomes available. Thanks.

Nice idea but you are going to have to map a lot of resorts and hows this going to work without loading data as I can't see how the gps works if the phone is deep in your pocket ...and there are a lot of us out ther who are still using symbian

Though the idea of a panic button might be good. You will probably find that Apple, Microsoft, Google et al, have very strict rules on apps upon which the app and phone service reliability is linked to personal safety. You should look into this.
