Augmented Foraging

A mobile phone guide to edible urban wild-food sources. Created in first instance for Amsterdam urban_edibles as a LAYAR app for the Iphone 3GS, T-Mobile G1, HTC Magic and other Android phones. We are considering Boskoi as a name for the mobile app because it translates as 'grazer' or 'browser' from the Greek 'βοσκοί'.

Functionalities (being implemented):

  • Showing edible or useful wildfood sources in your area.
  • Enabling anyone (with gps on mobile) to upload new entries to the database.
  • Providing links to expert knowledge (botanical, herbal, culinary, ecological)
  • Offering harvesting alerts.

Combining the ancient skills of foragers with the newest mobile media.

Some screenshots of the first demo.
