Photo task allows the player to make a photo. Photo is the answer for this kind of task. When a task opens, the player has the option to

a) take the photo

b) skip the photo.

The task is considered correct when a photo is done. Skipping the photo results in the incorrect answer (a task not done). Photos are saved in the devices and also uploaded to the online results page (when internet connection or Wi-Fi is available).

Special behavior in photo task

In case the task type is photo task, then the attached photo is shown over camera feed during photo capture. 

Images added as media to the task are displayed on top of the camera view. Read more about photo overlay.

Augmented photo

To add special photo overlay to augmented photo task type use the augmented base photo functionality on Task tab.

The augmented base photo will be displayed for the players in the camera view so they can take the picture combining it with real-life objects.

When you use the augmented photo task type then an added image needs to be in PNG format and have transparent areas and have a 4:3 ratio.

The images have to have aspect ratio 4:3- for example 1200 x 900 pixels. Crop any images you want to use, accordingly!

NB! iPhone models will not turn augmented base photos when the screen is turned into landscape mode.

Photo upload volumes

We are uploading game data (results, location etc.) to the server after each answer. If the internet connection is not present, then this transfer is delayed. The volume for an average game does not exceed 100 kB for the entire game.

If you have a photo task (the tasks where teams need to make photos to answer) or video task in a game, then photos/videos are uploaded with reduced quality. One photo size usually does not exceed 500 kB, but this depends on the device and photo/video itself.
