Android app to help seniors explore neighbourhood

Students from National Junior College (NJC) have come up with an Android app that encourages senior citizens to go on heritage trails around their neighbourhood.

Launching Active Ageing Through Learning-on-the-Move yesterday, Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said this joint-initiative by NJC and Moulmein-Kallang GRC will strengthen inter-generational bonds.

Each heritage trail has various sites known as "hotspots".

When a user is near a hotspot, the device will be activated and more about the site can be learnt through videos or pictures.
