Very cool! The guides look very sophisticated— are you developing a tool for users to be able to build their own guides? Or is creating the guides too technical?

@stevebenjamins Thank you Steve - right now the process is very curated (difficult making crowd-sourced content high quality), but that's definitely something we'll be considering as Guidekick develops.

Your very own little sidekick. Ohhhh, that's where the name comes from! :-P So awesome. Great work guys.

@msaint Thank you sir Marc! <3

Holy amazing design! Way to go you guys. I can see this having massive application for theme parks, music festivals, and all sorts of other things past the typical city attractions.

@CynthiaSchames Cheers Cynthia, and you're spot on!

Wow, the UI/UX is surprisingly awesome. How did you achieve those cool 3d graphics?

@fotoflo Thanks Alex! With a mix of old architectural plans, maps, and some LiDAR point cloud data, we were able to recreate each of the models (currently done by hand) to a really precise degree of accuracy. The lighting is applied through Unity at the end of the modeling process.
