An augmented reality gardening app for mobile devices!
Summary
Using printable real-world markers, you can decorate your desk, office or home with digital plants, which require even less maintenance than real ones! The plants are persistently stored, and grow in real time, so you can watch them blossom as the days go by.
Check out our cool pitch video for more details!
