 === Augmented Foraging ===
-A mobile phone guide to edible urban wild-food sources. Created in first instance for Amsterdam [[urban_edibles]] as a [[http://layar.com/|LAYAR]] app for the Iphone 3GS, T-Mobile G1, HTC Magic and other Android phones.
+**Combining the ancient skills of foragers with the newest mobile media.**\\
-We are considering [[grazing_hermits|Boskoi]] as a name for the mobile app because it translates as 'grazer' or 'browser' from the Greek 'βοσκοί'.\\
