Locast: Location-based video sharing

The Mobile Experience Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was developing an exciting new Web and mobile platform for sharing and discovering location-based user-generated videos and production quality multimedia content from their partners, including RAI TV and the city of Venice, Italy.

On a short deadline with a looming foreign project deployment, the Lab turned to Active Frequency to develop the map-based Web application and the server component APIs for the mobile application, as well as provide Facebook integration and a mobile video server. The application launched in Venice on schedule; the client is now looking into developing the concept further with a "Locast 2.0."

LensProToGo: rental e-commerce platform

When Concord, MA-based LensProToGo needed a web-based store for their growing photo equipment rental business, they turned to Active Frequency to help architect a solution that would closely integrate the customer-facing web front-end with increasingly sophisticated back-end operations.

As a rental-based business, LensPro had unique needs that weren't met by off-the-shelf e-commerce packages (for instance, calendar-based inventory). In close collaboration with the business, Active Frequency helped architect a solution that improved both the customer experience and backend operational efficiency.

BUniverse: Boston University video community

Few institutions produce as much rich, diverse and exciting video content as universities, and Boston University - one of the largest private universities in the country, with a dedicated College of Communications - leads the pack.

With everything from classroom lectures, to course projects, to dorm-room Flip cam videos, BU needed a tool to aggregate and promote its rich video library. At the same time, the university wanted to embrace YouTube (including its own YouTube channel) and not reinvent the wheel.

In collaboration with Boston University's Office of New Media and Information Services & Technology group, Active Frequency built BUniverse - a BU-focused video community that leverages YouTube via its rich API while going "outside the lines" to overcome particular limitations and making it a true BU-focused community.
