Community-Driven Skating Location App with AR and Media Streaming

Skating enthusiasts often struggle to find accessible, reviewed skating spots in their vicinity. They lack a centralized platform for discovering locations, reading community reviews, and visualizing terrains in AR, which limits their skating experience and connection within the community.

A mid-sized startup focused on building a social platform for outdoor sports enthusiasts, aiming to connect skaters with accessible skating spots and community reviews, incorporating innovative AR features and media functionalities.

• Develop a mobile application that enables users to discover nearby skating spots based on geolocation.
• Implement a community-driven review and rating system for each skating location.
• Integrate AR features for better landscape visualization and terrain assessment.
• Allow media uploads (images and videos) with smooth media streaming and adaptive bitrate playback.
• Ensure the platform supports scalability for growing user base and content volume.

• Geolocation-based discovery of nearby skating locations.
• Community review and rating system to inform spot quality and difficulty.
• AR module for landscape visualization to assess terrain suitability.
• Media upload and playback features supporting images and videos with adaptive streaming.

• Backend infrastructure capable of handling media storage, user data, and real-time updates.

• Geolocation services for nearby spot discovery.
• AR SDK for landscape visualization and terrain analysis.
• Media processing and streaming services for smooth playback.
• User authentication and social login systems.

It aims to attract over 200,000 active users and facilitate thousands of media uploads, leading to increased user retention and active participation, ultimately fostering a vibrant and informed skater community.
