Sapling is a mobile app designed for helping users care for and learn more about their plants. I came up with this idea when I was struggling to care for one of my own plants and it ended up dying. I felt that it would be helpful for me and other people who want to keep plants but struggle with plant care to have an app act as their assistant. I began working on concepting this idea through Figma and it led to the first stages of my project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my Interaction Design class DMA217, we were supposed to make an app that utilized AR. This was a good opportunity for me to enhance my current app design. With only a few screens made already, I used this idea and finished the rest as my class project, creating a prototype with an AR feature to identity plants and issues with your plants. The final prototype had screens for a landing, logging in and creating an account, a dashboard, garden view for plants to keep track of, settings, and an AR video screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming up with my app concept was the easy part, what was hard was learning new parts of Figma that I wasn’t familiar with. Learning about animations and overlays for videos were difficult, and it took me a lot of time to figure it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A way to improve this concept would be to sketch out all my ideas more thoroughly on paper so that when I go to create my actual prototype I’ll have a clear idea of what to create so that I know upfront what Figma functions I need to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The submission itself would be much better with a well designed pitch for for the project. A bunch of slides meant for a presentation would help people viewing this project to really get the full idea of what it’s meant for and what its benefits are. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
