The New Philadelphia AR (Augmented Reality) Tour is designed to be downloaded and used by visitors to the New Philadelphia National Historic Landmark in Pike County, Illinois. This App allows visitors to view virtually reconstructed portions of the historic town and learn about the town’s history while walking through the landmark. Creation of the App was made possible by support from the United States National Park Service Underground Railroad Network to Freedom and the Illinois Rural Electric Cooperative. New Philadelphia is historically significant as the first town in the United States to be founded and platted by an African American. The founder, Free Frank McWorter, was a slave who purchased his own freedom through money he had earned while being leased as a laborer. Free Frank moved west from Kentucky into Illinois and purchased land which he then platted and sold as lots, in the process founding the town of New Philadelphia. Free Frank used the proceeds from those lots to successively purchase the freedom of first his wife and later his children and grandchildren, all of whom had remained enslaved in Kentucky. Over the course of the mid-19th century, New Philadelphia grew modestly in size as a multi-racial community of whites and blacks peaking around 1870, however, the town was eventually abandoned in the early 20th Century and reverted to farmland. The New Philadelphia AR Tour uses Augmented Reality technology to reconstruct and tell the story of a lost historic community.

About

TeaderBook

Read full description

TeaderBook is an e-reader for people learning a language through books they choose themselves. Open your own FB2 or EPUB file, tap a sentence to translate it, or double-tap a word you do not know — the translation appears right on the page, without taking you away from the text. A few public-domain classics come with the app, so there is something to read from the very first minute. **YOU CHOOSE HOW IT TRANSLATES** • **Offline words** — instant translation of individual words, with no internet connection and no account. • **Offline translation** — whole sentences translated on your phone itself, still without an internet connection. • **Smart translation** — the most powerful option for difficult sentences; it understands the sentence in context. Models are downloaded only when you agree to it. When there is no connection, the app does not stop working — it falls back to a method that needs none. **WORDS THAT STAY WITH YOU** Every word you look up goes into your own dictionary, along with the sentence you encountered it in and a mark showing whether you know it or are still learning it. A separate screen brings those words back at increasing intervals, helping a word move from “seen it somewhere” to “know it.” The dictionary can be exported and imported as CSV. **BUILT FOR READING, NOT FOR DRILLING** • Real pagination, not endless scrolling — and a sentence split by a page break is still translated as a whole. • A choice of typefaces, including OpenDyslexic. • Light and dark themes, plus a dimmer for reading at night. • See how much time is left in the chapter and the book. • Statistics showing how long you read and how many words you worked through. • Pronunciation, read aloud using your phone’s own voice. **YOUR BOOKS STAY YOURS** TeaderBook is not a bookstore: apart from the few classics it comes with, you bring your own files. Your books, your reading position, your dictionary, and your statistics stay on your phone and are never uploaded. No ads, no analytics, no trackers. **TEADERBOOK PRO** Smart translation and Offline translation are available for free a few times a day, as is one grammar breakdown per day. TeaderBook Pro, an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription, removes those daily limits. Reading, Offline words, the dictionary, and reviews stay free — with no account and no internet connection.
