Background

Botanic Gardens AR is an AR game based on Botanic Gardens Singapore. We aim to bring an educational and unique approach to educating users about the flora and fauna, and history of the Gardens. This uses multiple interactions, which unlocks a secret area when completed. The interactions start from the virtual 3D map, tapping on small plants to see clues, playing through hedge mazes and learning how to keep the environment clean and safe for all.

Established in 1859, the Singapore Botanic Gardens is a green haven in the busy city-state. Originally founded during the British colonial period, the gardens served as a hub for experimenting with agriculture. Over time, it transformed into a recreational haven, gaining global acclaim for its diverse plant collections, notably the renowned National Orchid Garden. The site holds historical significance as the birthplace of rubber tree cultivation, pivotal in transforming the worldwide rubber industry. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015, the Singapore Botanic Gardens continues to captivate visitors with its lush surroundings, diverse plant life, and storied botanical heritage. Based on this history, we want people to learn on this important site in Singapore and to appreciate its features and its nature, through making an AR app
