There are various ways that you can generate revenue from your app, such as:
Allow your customers to purchase tickets for events directly through the app. Tickets do not need to be printed, a unique code or QR code is displayed on the device itself. This allows you to cut out the middle man, saving costs on ticket production and distribution and reducing the risk of counterfeit tickets.
Your app can feature fully interactive 3D models. The user can choose camera angles, pan, rotate and zoom around the model to navigate or discover buildings or locations, or to show explore products in greater detail. Interactive “Hot Spots” on the model can be tapped to show new views or to open up additional content.
Most mobile devices feature geo-location, the ability to pinpoint the location of the device. This can be used to bring location-specific information to your users, such as directions or tourist information, or “check-in” your users to an event or location. Reward your customers for attending events, or let them know when their friends are nearby.
The user can view a 3D map of the local surroundings, highlighting local businesses, services, amenities and transport links. The map also provides useful information such as distances to airports and walking distances. As well as making your app more engaging, 3D representations of the surroundings make it easier to recognize specific places and buildings.
Your app can integrate with social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, allowing you to connect with wider audiences and show up-to-date information with live feeds. This can allow users to easily share information about the app with their contacts, and even allow the app to post messages directly.
The 360° 'bubble' images allow multiple images to be stitched together to create a seamless 360° degree panorama image of a location. The user can then move the view to look around as if they were really there. This can be combined with the motion sensor, allowing the user to change the viewing angle by tilting the device.
As well as embedding specific content, your app can also stream content from the web, such as music or videos. This means that the app can give your audience access to constantly updating content
Augmented reality is a cutting-edge technology that allows you to superimpose graphics content or information onto the real-world via your mobile device’s camera. Use it to wow your customers by bringing 3D content to life, or deliver location specific information.
QR codes are a type of 2-dimensional bar-code that can be scanned using the camera on a smartphone. Placed on posters, magazines, or on walls, QR codes can be used to allow users to quickly access information such as web URLs or phone numbers, simply by taking a picture of the QR code.
3D capture is a brand new and exciting technology that allows 3D objects to be recreated in stunning detail, capturing not only the shape of the object, but the every detail of the surface color . Perfect for displaying products such as clothing, 3D capture can be used to display your products in much greater detail.
If you have a lot of content, you will want your users to be able to quickly find the content interesting and relevant to them. Allow your users to search for content using categories, sorting, filters and keywords.
