This is a system that allows users to exchange information using images and texts. For the system to work they have to join the same session by entering the same room number and image. This ensures secrecy amongst the users.
Users can upload an image to be used to join a room or they can use a common image. Users can annotate the images to give extra infomration about them. This includes directions to follow if information being given is about a certain location or to give more information about a person on the image. Extra information can be added to the annotation by use of the Google search bar that can be found on the right of the image once a user annotates an image.
