iPhone's 'Ubigreen' Tracks Your Green Travel
As if we need another excuse to spend time on our cell phones, the University of Washington and Intel have collaborated to create an app for the iPhone called Ubigreen that tracks your eco-transportation efforts and motivates you to stay on track. The program is focused on travel and uses accelerometer data and cell phone towers to track when you're walking, riding in a car, or biking and will then ask you questions about the details. Based on how green you are (if you carpool or take the bus instead of driving alone) the little tree on your phone's screen will be bigger, have more leaves, and even bloom.[via DVICE]
