Progress streaks float above objects like zeppelin markers, turning your environment into a visible map of your learning journey.
The Wow Moment
You're waiting in line and point your phone at a 'Exit' sign—suddenly an AR hourglass materializes on it, counting down 45 seconds while your phone vibrates with urgency, and you shout rapid-fire answers to 'List 5 synonyms for departure.' A green sword slashes through the sign, +50 XP floats in the air, and a tiny zeppelin icon appears—marking this exit as your new streak landmark. Passersby stare; you grin.
