AR_Bento de Jesus Caraça Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geocaching HQ Admin: From June 06, 2018 until March 06, 2019, Geocaching HQ conducted an Augmented Reality (AR) experiment. During that time, cache owners were allowed to submit Mystery Caches that required the finder to download and use an AR app to find the cache. The goal of the experiment was to see how the geocaching community would use AR technology. Cache owners placed more than 600 AR caches around the world!

Unfortunately, the AR apps which met HQ’s requirements for the experiment have been or are currently in the process of being discontinued. As a result, it is currently not possible for finders to have the AR experience that was originally intended. Therefore, HQ has decided to archive all active AR caches placed during the experiment period. We are respectfully requesting that all AR cache owners please remove the cache container and contents as soon as possible.

As technology evolves, we look forward to seeing how Augmented Reality might have future applications for geocaching. Thank you to all cache owners who participated in the experiment!

Quem foi Bento de Jesus Caraça?

Ilústre matemático e antifascista, fundador da Universidade Popular Portuguesa e da Biblioteca Cosmos, direccionou toda a sua actividade intelectual e cívica para a cultura integral do índividuo. Bento de Jesus Caraça nasceu em Vila Viçosa a 18 de Abril de 1901 e com ele o universo cultural da matemática portuguesa ganhou uma nova dimensão. Impulsionou os estudos de Econometria em Portugal, criou o Centro de Estudos de Matemáticas Aplicadas à Economia e fundou a “Gazeta da Matemática”. Publicou vários estudos até à sua mais notável obra, “Conceitos Fundamentais da Matemática”, publicada pela pioneira Biblioteca Cosmos, que fundou em 1941. A criação do Estado Novo levou-o a intensificar a actividade política. Lutou pela liberdade e a democracia. Nunca abdicou dos seus ideais.
