JarRoc is a mobile application designed to provide information on the specimens that make up the Rock Garden of the University of Cádiz.
Visitors who come to the University Campus of Puerto Real can enjoy a pleasant walk in which this application will guide them along the route of the Rock Garden. JarRoc provides information on each lithology, from its location, age and origin to its mineralogical composition and its genesis, through analysis of optical microscopy or X-ray diffraction.
The Department of Earth Science, together with the Unit of Scientific Culture and Innovation (UCC + i) of the UCA, with the help of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) - Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the Illustrious Official College of Geologists of Andalusia (ICOGA), have designed this initiative focused on the placement, in different sections of the Puerto Real Campus, of a representation of the most significant rocks in the province of Cádiz, with the objective to make visible the geological richness of this area and build an informative space. We invite you to take this tour and enjoy the richness of geodiversity, in the form of the lithological varieties shown.
The App allows to visualize the information of each one of the rocks that compose the Garden. To do this, the user will have to scan the QR code associated with the rock, bring their device closer to the corresponding NFC sensor, or select the rock from a list or an interactive map in the app itself.
The development of this application has been carried out by Iván Ruiz Rube, professor of the Department of Computer Engineering. The design team has been attended by professors from the Department of Earth Sciences Ángel Sánchez Bellón, Javier Martínez López and Salvador Domínguez Bella, as well as José Luis Ramírez Amador, a fellow of this project.
We appreciate the collaboration provided by the companies that have provided us with the specimens and, especially, the invaluable help of the president of ICOGA, Antonio Jesús García Guerrero, in the tasks of selecting and transporting the rocks.
