Welcome to a new kind of augmented reality...
«VP» … It is not a game but could be used for playing... It is not a messenger but could be used to leave messages... It is not a navigation program but could be used to find a way... Neither is it a social network but could be used to share information online and offline…
What is it? … It is your own expression!
It is hard to define any fixed target market for «VP», but it could be used for almost everything. «VP» will completely change your perception of the virtual world and virtual reality. It will show you how to connect real world with virtual reality and how to use virtual reality in order to supplement the real world.
Imagine, you are alone in a foreign city. With the help of «VP» you can take a different look at the world around you. On a bustling street with signs in foreign language with the help of «VP» you can see the graffiti left by your compatriots with recommendations where it is better to go, what is worth seeing or visiting, where to find a good restaurant, what is the shortest way to the beach. Do not forget that you are also a part of «vpCloud», and you can add your own graffiti with your feedback and recommendations for everyone who will be here after you.
Wherever you are, you can leave a message for others in the form of virtual graffiti on any of the objects around you (on a building, on the street or even just hanging in the air), which others can only see with this app. Your message will only exist in the virtual world of «vpCloud». Since your message does not exist in the real world, no one can erase or correct it.
You could make a virtual graffiti in front of the window of a loved person. Virtual graffiti is powerful to congratulate, thank, confess to feelings.
Virtual graphitty can be used for business purposes as well: for posting ads on work, advertisements. Your ads will be seen by everyone who passes by. No need to wait and hope until your message is seen on some search site. You can open a huge menu ad above your restaurant, which will be visible even from a long distance. No need to spent money on expensive billboards. Visitors of your restaurant can leave a graffiti with their reviews about your institution.
All of the above is just a small part of «vpCloud»s capabilities. Try it and find your own way of how to use it.
In the current version 1 of «VP» there is the only one type of object available: flat billboards, called «plaques». You could design your billboards, choose color, size, angle, altitude and position them wherever you want without geographical limitations. There are no limitations on the text contents of plaques. You can use your language, even smilies are allowed.
«VP» is based on the authors own idea. It is not based on ARKit and, therefore, does not require any AR markers.
