Plant Growth

Inspiration

We thought about ways we could help make the world a better place as individuals, especially during the pandemic. We decided that learning to grow a plant virtually would give beginners the education necessary to take the first steps in helping the environment around them as opposed to just providing awareness. This also improves indoor and outdoor air quality and provides cleaner air to breathe.

What it does

It shows users how to grow a plant and contains tips on how to give your plant the best chance at surviving.

How we built it

We used WebVR for the application and 3D models were downloaded from the internet.

Challenges we ran into

This was our first time working with AR/VR so we had a huge learning curve. Also, Unity kept crashing and the builds to Android were not working, so we decided to go with WebVR.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We learned a lot about AR/VR in Unity and on the web.

What we learned

WebVR, ARFoundation, ARCore, AR.js

What's next for Plant Growth

We are hoping to develop this prototype into teaching users how to grow a fully-fledged garden with multiple plants and include information on improving air quality and health.
