Mobile Application / Digital Innovation
Capture. Locate. Document.
01 Overview
GeoLens is an institutional camera app. Every photograph is captured together with its location, coordinates, date and time — so documentation carries its own context.
02 The problem
Photographs taken for institutional records quickly lose their context: where was this taken, and when? Adding that information afterwards is slow and easy to get wrong.
03 Objectives
- 01Record location, coordinates, date and time at the moment of capture
- 02Keep capture fast and simple in the field
- 03Produce photographs that are ready for documentation
04 My role
Design and development of the application.
05 The solution
A camera-first app that reads the device's position and clock at the moment a photo is taken and records them with the image.
06 Technical architecture
- 01CaptureDevice camera, camera-first interface
- 02LocateDevice GPS for coordinates and place
- 03StampDate and time recorded at capture
- 04DocumentPhotographs ready for institutional records
07 Key features
Location & coordinates
Where each photograph was taken, recorded automatically.
Date & time
When it was taken, from the device clock.
Camera-first
Open, point, capture — nothing in the way.
Documentation-ready
Images that can go straight into a report.
08 Challenges & solutions

- ApproachA capture flow with as few steps as possible.
- ChallengeInformation people can trust
- ApproachLocation and time read at capture, never typed in by hand.
