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 anything – a building or a sight. The camera works out what you are looking at: a building gets VERA PI's facts, a sight gets its story.

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.
