Scope captures videos from strangers from around the world

We sat on a pair of the university, and could not even think about studying. But as always. But this time the occasion was much more interesting. A few days before I came across the app Rando. In it, you can send a picture to a stranger and get the same picture of the other person. Where and by whom it was taken off - is unknown. We can only know the country the photographer.

My friend and I lit this application and for one couple had fifteen times sfotkat view from the window (so-so) and the party (not the best). Unfortunately, Rando developer - studio Ustwo - closed project. But given the world stead something better - the game Monument Valley.

About Rando I remembered for the reason that the Scope, the hero of this review, it reminds of the mechanics. The Scope, you can ask for what is happening in the video around users. Moreover, you can ask them to make something more specific: party in night club or a dinner. And if a person has the time and inclination, it will remove the video and send it to you. For example, something like that of the United States:

The maximum length of a video - 13 seconds. According to the developers, it is even a lot, so in the future they will reduce the length to 10 seconds. Once the user removes the video, it is loaded on the server, and within seconds you will receive a notice of his arrival.

The same goes for you. Every five minutes Scope requests your location and sends it to the general map. Other users see you, send you a request, and you're shooting your shoes, lunch or unimpressive view from the window. By the way, the frequency geolocation request chosen for a reason. Since your location will know only once every five minutes, it guarantees privacy.

We asked a few questions CEO Scope Eugene horns.

- Are you having problems with the moderation in the App Store. Why?

- The main problem was because of the anonymity - we looked at under a microscope. Going through to the App Store does not appear Chatroulette (anonymous video chat for singles. - Approx. author). They dealt in detail with our moderation system checked if it works correctly. We have been a document that was available to moderation in the App Store, which recorded all the reasons for refusal, as well as a detailed description of our actions to address them. It helped us actively use Testflight, internal Apple testing service applications. In testing several hundred people took part. In the end, we took in the App Store, not testing, the moderator simply click "Accept." We took them into submission! :)

- I noticed that you often talk about how important the opportunity to look anywhere in the world. So whether it is highly necessary for people?

- People are, by definition, very little need. We used the technology to go beyond the everyday. In fact, Scope - this experiment, we are not trying to be clear about the niche. We have created a tool and want to see what happens, because you can make a ship and go to him in the sea to catch fish, and can be one to discover America. It is not important what we originally intended to make an application, more importantly, what will happen to them in the hands of our users.

- As the application will be monetized? Now it no advertising, no fee functionality, right?

- That's right, right now there is no monetization. The basic idea is to make videobirzhu, where any user or journalist can order for your goals video on a specific topic from a particular place. Thus the journalist can pay $ 10-20 to get a unique video copyright. You can order the video greetings from Paris for your girlfriend, as an option. :) starring user earns money, we - a fee for using the service. This hypothesis, it must be checked once typed a critical mass.

The second idea - a paid subscription for bars, cafes, clubs and other venues. When the institution is marked on the map a special beacon and remote people can go look, see what's happening now, maybe even book a table. It is very convenient: it is not necessary to bypass the four clubs and each pay an entrance fee, it is possible to look and choose. We were already contacted by several bar owners. In the near future we are going to test this case.

- Should I wait for the version Android?

- Of course! Tomorrow the site will form the collection of email addresses for Android users. On the application itself, we have already begun work.
