Case Study: Veterans Walkway brings 100 stories of service to life with Lift Interactive

Veterans Walkway launches a four-language memorial app in under two months with Lift Interactive

The Veterans Walkway committee sought to create a public memorial in Calgary featuring 100 stories of local veterans along a five-kilometre route, but needed a way to make these stories digitally accessible to visitors on-site and anywhere else. Lift Interactive was engaged to provide a digital product solution, including an app and website, to meet this challenge.

Lift Interactive designed and built a multi-platform app featuring a live map that detects a user's proximity to the memorial's medallions, presenting the stories with photos and audio. The solution utilized applied AI for rapid translation of all content into four languages and for assisting with code development, which significantly accelerated the project timeline. The resulting app successfully launched on the web, Google Play, and the App Store, providing full access to all 100 stories both on the physical route and remotely.
