1. A REAL TIME MULTIMEDIA SHARING
APPLICATION BASED ON THE USERS
LOCATION
Abhishek Srivastava, Raghu Ananya Arabolu

2. MOTIVATION
 Sometimes we only get to know about a road block
when we get there.
 At other times we can miss a good sale just
because we did not have any information about it.
 There is a need for a location based notification
application which can serve as a bulletin board for
different types of notifications

3. APPLICATION OVERVIEW
 Our application enables the users to leave
multimedia “tags” on a location.
 These can be left on the user’s current location or
on a desired location on the map by the user.
 When another user would want to view any tags, he
can check for notifications on his location or check
any notifications on the map.
 The unique feature of the application is that the
notifications can be of many descriptive forms.
They can be a text tag, a voice tag or a picture tag.

4. FEATURES OF THE APPLICATION
 Further, the tags can be categorized by the user as
an Alert, an Event or an Advertisement.
 This would help another user easily filter the tags to
match his interest and then view them.
 A time to live is provided by the user who is placing
the tag. This defines the amount of time for which
the tag will be valid.
 The application also provides minor but useful
functionalities like searching for a location on the
map and giving the exact address when clicked on
a location.

5. AUGMENTED REALITY
 We implemented a simplistic model of Augmented
Reality.
 We used the Wikitude API to construct the
Augmented Reality view
 Using this the user can view all the tags around him
by panning his camera.
 A tag on the camera overlay would only describe
the details of the tags like the name, type of tag and
the category.
 Further processing in this view is not yet available
in the API.

7. TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
 The client is an application of the Android Phone.
 Google Maps API is used for providing the map
view on the client side.
 The server is implemented in PHP.
 MySQL is used for the back-end database for
storing the tags and their details.
