About Greenfun Mobiele Toepassing

Greenfun is 'n mobiele toepassing wat ontwerp is om plantversorging en omgewingsbewustheid te ondersteun. Gebruikers identifiseer plante rondom hulle met 'n slimfoon en neem digitale weergawes daarvan aan in 'n persoonlike tuin. Aangevulde realiteit wys hoe die plante deur die vier seisoene verander, terwyl liggingstegnologie help om aanneembare plante naby te vind. Vriende kan uitgenooi word om by natuuraktiwiteite aan te sluit, en tuine kan besoek word om plante uit te ruil. Punte wat deur hierdie aksies verdien word, gee afslag op die aankoop van werklike plante.
