Alive – Bringing Static Images to Life
Explore how we transformed Alive’s vision into reality by developing an innovative solution to blend offline images with dynamic videos. Our expertise in integrating cutting-edge video technology onto scanned images creates a captivating ‘live’ experience, enhancing viewer engagement and bringing static visuals to life.
The Business Needs
Understanding core challenges and objectives.
Alive is looking for a mobile app development agency capable of crafting a concept that merges offline images with interactive video content. They aim to create an immersive ‘live’ image experience by augmenting videos onto scanned images. They needed a solution to seamlessly integrate these videos with static images to create a dynamic and engaging visual experience.
About Our Client: They were founded by three dynamic companies with deep technological expertise and a passion for creativity. The ALIVE brand emerged from a desire to address a significant issue in the world of memories—the static nature of conventional photos. ALIVE spent considerable time developing groundbreaking technology. This innovation integrates personal videos into photos, enabling people to relive and engage with their special moments excitingly and interactively.
Our Approach
Our strategic approach to transforming images into beautiful memories.
We would adopt a structured approach combining technical innovation with user experience design to address Alive’s vision and client requirements effectively. Firstly, we Collaborate closely with Alive to refine and fully understand their vision for integrating video with printed images. This involves detailed discussions on user experience, functionality, and desired outcomes. Establish clear objectives for how the videos should augmented on images, including interaction features, audio integration, and sharing capabilities.
Identify and select the appropriate mobile app development technologies for image recognition and video augmented. This involves rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics and advanced image processing techniques. Create initial prototypes to demonstrate how the augmented and scanning functionality will work. This includes developing the Android & iOS mobile app development and the backend infrastructure needed to support it.
The Solution
How we seamlessly augmented it with mobile app development technologies and real-time media interaction to transform the customer experience into a real feel from static images.
We developed an innovative solution for Alive that seamlessly bridges the gap between physical frames and digital content. Our approach began with implementing a sophisticated image detection mechanism that accurately identifies the image within the current camera frame. This allowed us to augment videos with synchronized audio onto the detected image area in real-time. The video automatically paused when the image was no longer in view, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted experience.
To facilitate customer interaction, we designed an intuitive portal where users could upload their media assets following their frame purchase. This portal streamlined the process, making it easy for customers to manage their content. Once the frames featuring printed images were delivered, they could be scanned using a dedicated mobile app. The app would recognize the scanned image and trigger the playback of the corresponding video, creating an engaging and dynamic way to relive and share memories.
Our solution enhanced physical and digital media interaction and provided a unique and immersive experience for Alive’s customers. We utilized various cutting-edge technologies to ensure a seamless and robust user experience. For the portal development, We leveraged Shopify, creating an intuitive platform where customers can effortlessly place orders and upload their media content. For mobile app development, we employed Kotlin, Swift, and C++ to build high-performance Android and iOS applications, ensuring smooth video and image rendering across both platforms.
We integrated PayPal and Stripe to provide customers with flexible, trusted payment options and a secure payment experience.
The backend operations were powered by Node.js, ensuring efficient data handling and communication between the portal and mobile apps. We also utilized the Meta API to send real-time WhatsApp notifications, keeping customers informed throughout their purchase journey.
For the critical task of rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics, we implemented OpenGL, which enabled smooth and dynamic video augmented on scanned images. This combination of technologies provided a robust, interactive, and secure solution that met Alive’s requirements.
