Practical Geography Apps

GeoGoggle Uses Augmented Reality for Hands-On Learning

— February 19, 2015 — Tech
While there are many maps and geography apps that will help you learn about latitude and longitude, GeoGoggle helps you get a much clearer understanding of these concepts through augmented reality. Geared towards students, the app helps to calculate the distance between two points, taking education out of the classroom and into the real world for practical use. The app detects speed of movement, distance to a destination and serves as a digital compass, making the information presented first-hand to a user clearer than what you'd ordinarily get out of a school textbook.

Whether you're a student or not, the app would be perfect at giving you the upper hand for a treasure hunt or an outdoor game of Geocatching.
Trend Themes
1. Augmented Reality Learning - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing educational apps and platforms that utilize augmented reality to enhance learning experiences, particularly in subjects like geography.
2. Practical Geolocation Apps - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating geolocation apps that provide practical uses beyond navigation, such as calculating distances, detecting speed of movement, and serving as a digital compass.
3. Real-world Education - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing educational tools and technologies that bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world applications, offering hands-on experiences outside traditional teaching methods.
