Bitdistrict

Mobile apps, web platforms and augmented reality projects are built by Bitdistrict, a Barcelona consultancy and development studio. It works for entrepreneurs and established companies and plans and builds software, apps and digital strategies, often combining hardware with software and mobile technology.

Native mobile apps for Apple and Android

The studio has native programming experience for Apple and Android devices. It builds games, services and corporate applications, and it takes each app through to publication on Google Play or the Apple App Store, so the client receives a finished product ready for distribution.

Augmented reality, geolocation and hardware

Its specialisms include augmented reality, geolocation, immersive interfaces and interaction with hardware. Projects range from location-based services to hardware and software systems that connect physical devices with apps, and the studio's consultancy helps teams plan those builds before development starts.

Custom web services and creative work

Starting from a client's idea, the studio writes custom web programming for projects a business wants to run over the internet. The creative service moves a product from the drawing board through concept design, programming and brand identity work to technical testing and launch.

Products built on its own technology

The studio says it develops some projects on technology it has patented itself. Two of its own products are VEAR APP, an audio app that uses augmented reality, and the Radian Touch Table, a tabletop with touch input. It has also developed mobile apps alongside GN Store Nord, using the Intelligent Headset prototype as the focus.

Guidance for businesses weighing software

The studio says it plans software with each client, aiming to increase productivity, reduce costs and improve team communication. Its blog covers subjects including emerging technologies for marketplaces, augmented reality applications, chatbots beyond customer service, blockchain uses beyond bitcoin, artificial intelligence applications, cybersecurity, the steps to create a mobile app, what drives the cost of a bespoke app, and custom software as an alternative to large ERP systems such as SAP or Navision.
