ChainSnap_Joint Ownership Visual Experience Capturing App that Aims to be a New Style Platform

Text: NAKAYA Kenichi

ChainSnap is an app that jointly uses the ‘Camera Finder’ of a smartphone. In other words, the scenery captured on someone else’s smartphone can be displayed on the smartphone in your hand, and a picture can be snapped. This simple but unusual app was actually realized using some fairly high-level technology to create a new platform for experiencing a new level of photo taking. Another notable point is that it was developed as an in-house venture project by members who have been active in startup companies.
