We are building an end-to-end solution and mobile application for spherical (360˚) video. Unlike panoramic still images, spherical video bridges the gap between virtual reality and video. Our process consists of filming content with a special multi-cam rig, which can see in every direction, stitching the footage together, and then uploading the finished video to backend hosting service. The video is then viewable on our 360˚ mobile app and eventually the Oculus Rift, which utilize gyroscope technology and allow users to look up, down, and all around a scene. We are also working on proprietary facets of this technology that will further our ability to impact other markets, such as virtual shopping.[While other players in the space focus on the pillars of camera hardware and editing software, we are creating the "YouTube" or end-user platform for viewership. We’ll also facilitate studios, advertising agencies, and eventually everyone with the technology to shoot spherical content.]

As Marc Andreesson astutely stated, "Ad tech has fueled a race to the bottom." This is especially true in mobile, where intrusive in-app ads frustrate users and generate almost no revenue. The clear answer is to advertise on the homescreen and lockscreen. Plenty have tried, but all have failed...because users won't give you that valuable real estate without a big-ass incentive. StartApp and Airpush tried by using various tricks, but were banned by Google. Locket and Slidejoy tried by giving users pennies per click, but the reward was too puny. Enter AppKey, with a patent-pending incentive: give users free premium content in return for their permission to be shown geo/behavior-targeted ads on their homescreen and lockscreen. Users love it: free premium content, plus no more ads in the middle of their games. Developers love it: instead of pushing IAP, they simply unlock premium content to opt-in users and share in AppKey's ad revenue. AppKey...mobile advertising done right.
"Build your friends’ profiles, and let them build yours." SketchOff is a crowdsourcing social app where friends build straightforward and fun profiles for each other. With crowdsourced profiles, you get to see your image in the eyes of your friends, or your friends' images in the eyes of their friends. Building your friends' profiles, you can joke around with them, share genuine insights about them, or actually be subtly talking about yourself. Meanwhile, you open up conversations not just with your friend but also with your friend's friends. So how does the crowdsourcing happen? Every SketchOff profile is a storyboard. To write a story for your friend, you can write a tag, upload a picture, or snap a picture of your friend like on Instagram. You can vote “up” or “down” a tag or picture, which determines its ranking on the profile. So your profile is almost entirely determined by your friends.TECHNOLOGYSketchOff is a mobile app on iOS and Android platforms. It has a extensible and scalable API server running in Ruby. The data structure is minimalistic: each attribute of a user is stored as an atomic tag in the database. The server is fully tested and documented, following the principle of Behavior-Driven Development.

This application encourages content creation and appreciation through the use of gamification to connect the connectors and innovators to businesses and brand that are struggling to stimulate activity and get their brand recognized. Users register and create profiles linked to their existing social media and web based accounts. At the same time, businesses and brands that are looking to attract new buzz and customers may incentivize the users by posting a mission or objective and reward for completing it in the form of in-kind product/service, discount(s) on a future purchase or direct compensation in the form of credits (or in game currency). Possible integration with systems like Klout will help determine the user’s overall social influence and allow publishers to target specific geographical and socio-cultural markets.
