MyPOV - Imagine that you can take a photograph and rather
than sharing to a private network you can post it to a world map and everyone
can see exactly what you’ve captured from your lens. Welcome to MyPOV, it has
no private users as all photos become part of a network but are still
copyrighted to the original photographer. Rights to the photo can be sold for
private use to individuals or businesses if contacted by an individual directly.
The photographer can upload pictures to this app and most photos consist of
locations, scenery, and other stills of their choosing but it’s not limited to
those. The photos show a different user how the area looks from the perspective
of the photographer and is then geo-tagged to a “Geo Map.” This consists of 2
types of views, city and country. City is more specific to businesses, streets,
and local areas whereas country is specific to landmarks, national parks, and larger
scale areas. People can take pictures of exact areas and give users a look at
what the area, business, street, etc. looks like. Users can report or flag
pictures that seem inappropriate and they will be hidden until verified
appropriate or deleted. It can make a person explore what the area in a small
town in Michigan looks like, what a concert hall looks like in Jacksonville, and
how the different parts of a city park looks like. This is basically allowing a
person to walk in the steps of someone who uploaded pictures before them. It
can spark a vacation to a remote island because of all the pictures that have
been posted before it, then you can try to find the exact location that a
different user stood in to take the photograph.
