Smartphones have become popular also due to the innovative pervasive services they enable thanks to their sensors and ubiquitous connectivity. In this paper we present an innovative app merging the real world with the virtual one thanks to the possibility to link users' generated media with specific geographic locations. Our app is a proof of concept built on Android OS and allows users to post geolocated media pinning them on specific coordinates. Other users can interact with these media by consuming them, leaving comments or adding new ones.

Abstract
Smartphones have become popular also due to the innovative pervasive services they enable thanks to their sensors and ubiquitous connectivity. In this paper we present an innovative app merging the real world with the virtual one thanks to the possibility to link users' generated media with specific geographic locations. Our app is a proof of concept built on Android OS and allows users to post geolocated media pinning them on specific coordinates. Other users can interact with these media by consuming them, leaving comments or adding new ones. Furthermore, users can contribute to extending their visibility by upvoting them, bringing a social component to the mix.
