Canadian Geology - Location Based Geology Mobile App

I am looking for a developer to create an educational mobile app focused on Canadian geology. The app should be designed for both iOS and Android platforms. The primary purpose of the app is to educate users on basic geological information about various locations in Canada. The ideal candidate should have experience in mobile app development and potential GIS systems, but no geological knowledge is required. We are hoping to build the app in several stages, culminating in a user interface where people can upload pictures of rocks they see in the field. But for this initial phase, I am looking to create a simple location-based map that overlays GIS shapefiles onto the terrane. The user can then click a geological unit and display information filtered from the shapefile attribute table. The app should include interactive maps, images and videos to engage users. The level of geological information required is basic, with a focus on providing easy-to-understand content for users. The app should be user-friendly and designed for all ages and platforms, and have the ability to work without a cell signal and offline. We would likely continue the work with the right candidate to build additional functions later on: - interacting with the [login to view URL] digital collections to be able to pull sample sites and images close to the users location - back end development to add tourist or enthusiasts outing listing - adding other layers / shapefiles of information - creating a VR / Augmented Reality version that uses the camera and will project / overlay the geological layers over the landscape seen in the field of view. - later ability for users to post their own pictures of rocks, minerals and fossils that they find in the field as part of a "Citizen Science" project. We will also need assistance in getting the back end of this built so it can be launched in the App stores. This project will be run under the Canadian non-profit, Below BC.
