The Living Rainforest wanted an app that would allow their visitors to explore the Glasshouses and learn about the amazing variety of plants and animals that live there. The app includes a live interactive map, and curated Trails that a user can complete and save in their journal. There are also plants and animals that can be taken home using the magic of Augmented Reality.
This app was built with our design partners at Considered Creative for The Living Rainforest in Berkshire. We developed the app using Flutter, Firebase, and Flamelink —the 3F stack! Flutter is a fantastic SDK built on the Dart language that allows us to write code that compiles natively to both iOS and Android. It also now supports Web from the same codebase. This is incredible and means we can create awesome apps and websites that have a consistent look-and-feel across all platforms.
Here's an example of just one of the many amazing animals you can augment using the app.

Zoos and Sanctuaries are fantastic playgrounds for Creative Technologists. There is so much opportunity for innovative ideas and activities.

Digital tools can make wayfinding a personal experience based on where you have already visited and which animals you have actually seen.
