Green-Thumb Camera: LOD Application for Field IT

Abstract

Recently, home garden and green interior have been receiving attention due to the growing environmental consciousness and macrobiotics. However, it is not very simple to grow the greenery in an urban restricted space, then it occasionally results in overgrowth or extinction. Also, it is important for interior / exterior use to balance the greenery to a user's surrounding, but it's difficult for amateurs to image its grown form in future. Therefore, we propose an Android application to query a plant from the LOD Cloud to fit an environmental condition using sensors on smart phone, and overlay its grown form in the space using AR.
