Kinomap is a complete end-to-end platform for creating, hosting, sharing and using motion videos for user-generated videos. Kinomap allows uploading motion videos shot with a GPS camera or a common camera coupled with GPS track from another device (such as a smartwatch). Kinomap platform contains geolocated video shooting (2D, 3D, terrestrial and aero), applications for Smartphone and tablets, data acquisition and integration, dedicated web portals and features like round-tour management, audio and video navigation, video tourism, indoor fitness training etc. The maps combine the video with navigation routes, and add physical data (like altitude, elevation, speed, pollution level, three-dimensional acceleration, bearing/direction, radioactivity, temperature and distance covered figures). During playback, a user may fast-forward the video to any desired point through video, map or graph. Navigation maps can be viewed in any one of several map formats including Google Map, Satellite, Terrain, Earth and

Motion videos

A motion video is a video with GPS features. It is achieved by synchronising user generated videos with the data related to the location and the navigation path of the user (.GPX, .FIT files), highlighted on the maps, so that the viewer gets more information apart from the video feed. A geolocation video may be used in several ways such as for grouping geographically similar videos or geotagged relevant videos, geotagging of videos by the user or the viewer, augmented reality during video chat, creating maps of nearby friends during video chat, 3-dimensional realisation of triangular disaster or crisis spots using multiple video feeds, video-check-in feature, video tourism, health and fitness apps feed, GPRS navigation etc.

Features and components
