slower. is an innovative mobile application that combines space-based data from Copernicus and Galileo missions to promote sustainable travel, healthier lifestyle choices, and environmental awareness.
🚀 Developed during the 10th Cassini Hackathon
Our application encourages users to slow down, make eco-friendly travel choices, and spend time in green, healthy spaces. By leveraging real-time satellite data, we provide personalized route recommendations that prioritize environmental impact and air quality alongside traditional metrics like travel time.
Discover and visit "Green Oases" in your area - parks, forests, and nature reserves.
Key Features:
- Interactive map of green spaces with health ratings
- Activity filtering (walking, cycling, picnicking)
- "Explorer Challenges" gamification system
- Location "Health Score" based on vegetation density and air quality
Space Data Integration:
- Copernicus Sentinel-2/3 (NDVI): Evaluates vegetation quality and density for health scoring
- Copernicus CAMS / Sentinel-5P (AQI): Suggests locations with optimal air quality
- Galileo: Precise navigation to destinations

Plan your journeys with sustainability and health in mind.
Route Options:
- Fastest: Traditional route with carbon footprint warning
- Most ECO: Route optimized for lowest emissions with CO2 savings counter
- Healthiest: Revolutionary feature - walking/cycling route that avoids areas with high pollution levels
Additional Features:
- Turn-by-turn navigation
- Report environmental anomalies (illegal dumping, etc.)
Space Data Integration:
- Copernicus Sentinel-5P (NO2, O3, PM): Near real-time pollution data powers the "Healthiest Route" algorithm
- Galileo: Precise geotagging of anomaly reports
Your personal eco-companion that reflects your environmental impact.
Features:
- Tamagotchi-style virtual pet ("Eco-Pup")
- Mood changes based on your choices and environment
- Interactive chatbot
- Customization through Eco-Points
Mood System:
- Happy: When choosing eco-routes and visiting parks
- Sad/Sick: When selecting high-emission routes or staying in poor air quality zones
Space Data Integration:
- CAMS/Sentinel-5P: Pet's mood directly responds to air quality data
- Galileo: Location verification triggers mood changes based on environmental conditions
Track your achievements and compete with friends.
