Direction on Skill Set to Look For??

Have an App idea which would require interaction with a relatively close-up photo from the phone's camera.  Specifically, the App would need to measure distance from the edge of a 2D object to a clearly defined spot on the interior of that object.  To make it easy the distance could simply be stated as a ratio, e.g. 10% of total object length, 15%, etc.  That means there's no need for exact measurement with units...relative is fine!  User could identify the edge and the interior "spot" I mention although if the App recognized them, it would be significantly better!

 

Not sure what kind of skill set to look for??  Any help is appreciated.

Hello Hans, 

 

Depending on platform you probably need follwing skills:

 

1. iOS: SWIFT. 

2. Android: KOTLIN. 

 

Also it looks like it would be usefull to have AR(Augmented Reality) experiance for both platforms.

Roman Surikov

Thanks for the direction!  It is appreciated.

Hans:

As a practical matter, if you just hire one freelancer to do this for you - no matter who you hire - there is a low probability of success because you do not have the knowledge and experience necessary to manage this project.

 

Most mobile app developers are NOT capable of serving as their own project manger.

SOME are. Most are NOT.

 

So you will probably need to hire an independent project manager.

 

At the very least, you need to hire a few consultants and talk them for thirty minutes to an hour each, in order to answer your questions about how to go about doing this project.

Understood. Thank you for the reply!
