Sorry for any inconvenience:P

Today was exhausting, but good.

For over a year now I've been working on an app called "Monash Rocks" for the Monash Earth Sciences Garden (not full time, but considerable amounts over the course of the project). We held the official launch event today and it went well

We've still got a couple of major bugs to fix, a number of smaller bugs and tweaks to make and an android build to test and deploy but I'm very happy with what our team has made

The only part of the app that actually requires being on location is the part that displays where you are in the rock garden and directs you to specific rocks. The information, Augmented Reality components and virtual sea floor all work anywhere.

Edit: realised I should have attached the markers for launching the AR components just in case anyone decided to take a look 

(Also to be clear, this is an educational app, there's nothing monetised about it. I just wanted to share )

I haven't seen it either, and I don't think anyone I know has...but that's probably because films take ages to get over here.
Now I want to see it though.

Usually, with church missions trips of this sort, the church will send money to a team already there. This team will have specialized knowledge and training; and any additional teams of volunteers who go will be there to help with side work, rather than working directly with survivors.

Aha. That makes a lot more sense.
