Space Chef vs GlobeARound Constellation

Have you tried Hawaiian Turkey Sliders? Quesadilla Con Huevos? How about a Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Shake? Space Chef has and he wants you to try them too! Space Chef, developed by the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley, is a fast-paced action game designed to provide the starting point needed to build healthy meals using simple, readily-available, and nutritious ingredients. Space Chef requires quick thinking and even quicker fingers as you race against the clock to sort through an array of ingredients and construct healthy recipes. Along the way, you’ll unlock food factoids, discover new Space Chef robots, and have access to over 60 healthy recipes. Start your intergalactic grocery list today...those Sweet Potato Blueberry Squares won’t make themselves! All recipes used in Space Chef were modeled from the healthy recipe collection at the “What’s Cooking? USDA Mixing Bowl” website. To help kids learn more about health and the human body, try out the other apps from the Lawrence Hall of Science funded by the National Institutes of Health Science Education Partnership Award program.

GlobeARound to Constellation is an Augmented Reality App developed to navigate the Tecnodidattica globe with your smartphone and discover interactive and multimedia contents related to the Starry Sky, the Constellations and many astronomical objects, such as double stars, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. By pointing the camera of your device on the sphere of the globe, you can see, in overlay, the most important star patterns, with 3D localization of the most interesting astronomical objects which define the individual constellation. With the simple touch of your finger it will be possible to choose and to interactively visualize individual elements, see images and read information about them. In the App there are the following: - 20 patterns connected to just as many Constellations, floating in 3D and visible in AR which overlap the map on the globe while in “night” mode. - 20 tabs containing general information about the constellation, the mythological creature it represents, the principal stars and celestial objects found in the constellation and how to identify them in the sky; - over 40 objects in 3D which can be positioned in AR on the globe, which represent astronomical objects, such as star clusters, nebulae and galaxies, accompanied by explanatory photographs taken by powerful telescopes - 4 videos in 3D giving detailed information about Astronomical Geography: rotational motion and revolution of the Earth, astronomical seasons, the movement of the Moon around the Earth, lunar phases and time zones. The interactive content is accessible and usable not only in augmented reality mode but also with a simple 3D interface with the touch of a finger. How it works: -Download the GlobeAR App using the QR code or on the Online Store In AR mode: - - Use the app in a dark room and turn on your globe. - Choose a constellation Point the camera at the chosen constellation - Tap the icon of the lens near the constellation to get more information about it In 3D mode: -Using the 3D interface choose the constellation you want to see; -Proceed as in the AR mode. All content in the App has been originally developed by Tecnodidattica: there are no links to other sites nor advertising. ——————————————————————— GlobeARound is part of a series of Apps in Augmented Reality dedicated to learning about planet Earth and astronomy in combination with various other globes from Tecnodidattica to Earth, Constellations and Parlamondo.
