Services like getchute.com use image recognition to make pictures with logos available to brands. They mostly use the pics for online advertising. In a sense, they broadcast the brand to a bigger audience than what you could make with one person in the street and offer a way to track how many people have seen / will see the ad.

How would you compete with those kind of services? What would be the advantage(s) for a brand to offer free tshirts/stickers/caps to people so they can become "living ads"?

This kind of sponsor/ad thing has been working with celebrities, do you think everyone can be visible enough to be interesting for big brands?

Thanks for sharing this! Really appreciate. (Feels like I'm in college and forgot to take notes during the class ;) )
I think we all are and that's the reason why we're here...
Really cool. You should add your baseline to your website ("Visualize, discover and share geotagged content") somewhere so people can understand what's your product about.
Hi, This is a side project I've been working on with friends during our spare time.

As concertgoers, we were annoyed by all the lights and flashes created by smartphones during concerts so we made a little app to try to make concert halls a better place.
