About this app
We wanted first to make an app that allow the mobile device to be used as a landmine detector, so that people can use it to detect any danger of landmines that may have been planted in there areas during wars and armed conflicts. Unfortunately after several attempts, we found that the functionality of electromagnetic sensors of most mobiles devices are so limited and they are too weak to detect a buried landmine, as those sensors were designed to be used as a compass for the apps that needs the directions.
So, in other attempt of our aim to save lives, we decided to make an app that raises the awareness of people about the danger of landmines by giving them information, photos, videos and the best practices to act with landmines to help them avoid their danger, as civilian people and children would not be able to protect themselves of the landmines danger if they don't know how landmines look like or how to deal with strange things like UXO, Raising the awareness may be an effective tool to protect people of landmines danger!
We tried to collect a lot of information from many resources, simplify and expose them in an easy, brief, and effective way that can be understood to everyone, we added illustrations for the best practices, we designed awareness game that can help people correct some of the wrong information that they may have about landmines and UXO.
We are trying to use some of the most powerful tools of smart phones, like google maps, to provide maps for the infected areas, GPS service can be used to detect the users location and send them warnings or notifications when they get close to areas that may not be safe or contain minefields.
People can report landmines and UXO locations or contact the authorities in case of incidents, or they can exchange the information about their areas.
As landmines problem exists in many countries around the world, we decided to make the app support English, Arabic and French and more languages will be supported in the coming versions, so that many people around the world can benefit from these information to avoid the danger of landmines.
