UCLA | Technology Studio | Summer 2022

Flora Finder is an app that uses mid-journey technology and 3D modeling software to create an imaginary version of real-world flowers, which can be viewed and interacted with through a smartphone or VR headset. Mid-journey technology utilizes AI to generate new and unique versions of existing flowers. The flower model is created using Maya, a 3D modeling software, and then imported into Unity, which enables the app to recognize the flower model and display it on a smartphone or VR headset. Flora Finder works by scanning a template of the flower model using a smartphone camera, and users can then rotate, zoom in, and zoom out on the flower model for a fully interactive experience. The app is compatible with both smartphones and VR headsets, providing a unique and captivating experience for users in both modes.
