The making of Virtualised Sommelier Assistance Mobile Application
Everyone has a distinct choice of taste in wine. We developed a mobile app that acts as a virtual sommelier, helping users discover wines that match their preferences.

Challenges
- Menu display overlapping during video screen sharing — wine selection was difficult to view during sommelier consultation
- Achieving smooth real-time video communication with WebRTC across varying network conditions
- Building three distinct interfaces (Restaurant, Admin, Sommelier) that work cohesively within a single platform
Solution
VirtuSomm is a mobile application that provides virtual sommelier guidance to restaurant customers. The system features three distinct interfaces — Restaurants, Admin, and Sommelier — allowing customers to connect with expert sommeliers via video call to receive personalized wine recommendations. Built with React Native, Vue.js, Node.js, and WebRTC for real-time video communication.
