Green Steps tracks your travels and reveals their environmental impact. The app evaluates the fuel consumption while traveling, considering the means of transport used, the distance and the chosen path. At the end of your travel, Green Steps scores it: you get 100 points for a perfectly green travel, zero for a very polluting one. You can also share your scores with social networks or email. The application keeps track, anonymously, of the data relating on movements. These data will be used for research purposes only in their aggregate forms. To improve the usability in next updates Greens' stores, in a completely anonymous way, usage statistics. The initiative Greens’ is a prototyping and demonstration phase of the PON Ricerca e Competitività 2007–2013 centred on smart cities and smart objects, with a focus to emergencies, environmental protection, sustainable mobility and services to the citizen.
Obelisk Verse
Read full descriptionHide full description
Step past the obelisk and Ancient Egypt opens like a pocket museum. Read illustrated lessons on the Nile, the pyramid builders, myth, daily life, writing and the afterlife, each split into short unfolding sections you study at your own pace. Test what sticks with more than two hundred questions across eight subjects and three ranks, from Apprentice to High Priest, plus a fresh daily challenge. Wander an encyclopedia of pharaohs, monuments and gods, follow a tappable timeline from unification to rediscovery, and flip through fact cards you keep as favourites. In the Hieroglyph Workshop you turn your own name into a cartouche and decipher real words sign by sign. Master each subject and painted fragments of a lost tomb are restored, piece by piece. Detailed progress, streaks, achievements and two switchable dark themes round it out, all entirely offline.
