The Vatican’slending iPods to pilgrimstouring the Catholic church ’s stomping ground . The design is twofold : On one paw , it ’ll low noise brought on by yapping tour templet ; on the other , they hope to draw younger member of the faith .
Each iPod is pre - plastered with an app that provides similar information to what you ’d hear from a enlistment guide ( in - depth descriptions , background info , etc . ) . But the app also contains multiple speech communication ( it well have Latin ) and photos , with the ability to zoom and take in the artistic elaboration :
With a rap of the finger , tourists can zoom in on eminent - solvent picture of aesthetic details , like the starry spicy canopy above the towering high communion table , ornament vault ceilings . The apps drug user also can refer to figure of speech from the Vatican Library not usually useable to the world to enrich their understanding of their basilica duty tour .
These devices are free , at least until the pilot program ends in December . But you will have to leave some soma of collateral , be it a pass or driver ’s licence . Because even God does n’t desire to be made a chump . [ Huffington PostandThe Christian Post ; Image quotation : Alessandro Bianchi / Reuters ]
