Metro Mode Camera

Point it at a building. See the whole house.

1. Allow camera and location
2. Point at a building or a sight
3. Read, listen, save

Your picture and your location stay on your phone.

A façade does not tell you what lies behind it. Aim your phone at any building in Stockholm: GPS and compass lock the building in front of you and draw its outline in the picture, live, and VERA PI reads what its databases hold on it – the build year and the architect, the association and the fee, the sun façade by façade and VERA PI Score. Anywhere in Stockholms län.

How it works

Point at a sight in Oslo – the camera works out what you are looking at and tells its story.

Akershus Fortress

Founded 1290

Akershus Fortress or Akershus Castle is a medieval castle in the Norwegian capital Oslo that was built to protect and provide a royal residence for the city. It is located on the banks of the Oslofjord. Since the Middle Ages the fortress has been the namesake and centre of the main fief and later main county of Akershus, which was originally one of Norway's four main regions and which included most of Eastern Norway.

Nothing you photograph is kept: the photo stays on your phone and your position is used for the answer only. VERA PI shows a building, never a flat, and never the name of anyone who lives there.

Allow the camera, your location and motion when the phone asks. Inside a building, tap I'm inside. On iPhone, Share → Add to Home Screen puts VERA PI one tap away.
