All Your Plant Problems, One Smart Solution.
The problem Cyber Flora Nexus solves
Caring for plants is not always simple. Gardeners, farmers, students, and even plant lovers face challenges such as:
🌿 Identifying Plants – Many struggle to recognize plants correctly, especially rare ones.
🩺 Detecting Diseases Early – Plant diseases often go unnoticed until it’s too late, leading to crop loss or dying houseplants.
🏡 Choosing the Right Plants – People are unsure which plants suit their homes, interiors, or lifestyle.
🎓 Limited Learning Tools – Pharmacy, botany, and agriculture students lack immersive, hands-on learning experiences.
👩🌾 Smart Farming Needs – Farmers need simple digital tools for fertilizer planning and weather-based crop care.
Challenges we ran into
📦 3D Model Loading Issues → Initially, AR models (GLB/RealityKit) were not rendering properly on iOS devices. The fix involved restructuring the ARView setup and ensuring assets were correctly bundled.
🤖 AI Disease Detection Accuracy → Early prototypes struggled to differentiate between similar-looking leaf diseases. We improved this by using a larger training dataset and integrating pre-trained ML models.
🔄 Performance Optimization → Rendering AR scenes alongside real-time AI processing caused app slowdowns. We optimized by running heavy computations on background threads and caching results.
🌐 Real-Time Data Integration → Weather API and farming insights required stable API connections. We handled this by adding error handling + fallback defaults for offline use.
🎨 User Experience (UX/UI) → Balancing professional accuracy with a beginner-friendly interface was tough. We overcame it by iterating on multiple design mockups and gathering early user feedback.
