ARBotany

Inspiration

Looking at the scenery around Houston, and on the bus ride inspired us to create this app.

What it does

Dynamic image analysis to determine whether or not the plant itself is of a poisonous nature.

How we built it

We decided to use android studios, integrated with CraftAR

Challenges we ran into

One of the greatest challenges we faced was the implementation of the craftar SDK. The challenge came from using a technology that we were unfamiliar with, a technology with little documentation except for a class reference and a slim example.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We persisted through the struggles, and continued working on the project despite being largely unfamiliar with CraftAR, and Android Studios.

What we learned

How CraftAR can be used with Android Studios for image recognition, and augmented reality.

What's next for ARBotany

Expanding the library of plants that the app recognizes, and making it more user friendly

I worked on the database design and storage. It was my first time using CraftAR, and andriod-studio, which was a struggle after 3 in the morning, but I learned a lot.

I worked on the front-end; creating the GUI, making a video play in the background, adding buttons, adding functionality to the buttons. It was difficult at first cause I was not familiar with xml, but after some time with it, I came to like it quite a lot. The hardest thing for me was implementation of a function to open the camera, but I was able to do it with some help!
