We recently finished up on a couple of facebook apps at Brando. The first, an app for Lifestyle Sports, gave me a chance to look further into the Wowza server and live streaming. The cam seems to be broadcasting though and I’ve learned a few things about setup for this. I’m quite happy with the results.

The first was for BUPI. It allowed the user to upload an image of their child, and then put them in a Christmas card. We animated the mouth to give it a “South Park” effect. An extra little challenge was the use of Slovak. Very cute though. You can view this app at https://apps.facebook.com/bupi-christmas/

The second app was for Lifestyle Sports, for this we put a web cam in their Mary St store window and the users would be asked to guess what was in the window. Also, for every like they recieved they would give Barnardos a euro. Everyones a winner. You can view this app at https://apps.facebook.com/getpartyready/.
