About Greenfun Mobil Applikatioun

Greenfun ass eng mobil Applikatioun, déi entwéckelt gouf fir d'Planzenaflege an d'Emweltbewosstsinn ze ënnerstëtzen. D'Benotzer identifizéieren Planzen ronderëm si mat engem Smartphone an adoptéieren digital Versioune vun hinnen an engem perséinlechen Gaart. Augmented Reality weist wéi sech d'Planzen duerch déi véier Joreszäiten änneren, wärend Standuertstechnologie hëlleft, adoptéierbar Planzen an der Géigend ze fannen. Frënn kënnen invitéiert ginn fir un Natur-Aktivitéiten deelzehuelen, a Gäert kënne besicht ginn fir Planzen auszetauschen. Punkten, déi duerch dës Aktiounen verdéngt ginn, ginn Reduktiounen beim Kaf vun echte Planzen.
