This project experiments with generative AI to create an engaging and educational wildlife identification experience, by allowing users to roleplay as a naturalist from the 1800s. The visual identity draws inspiration from scientific illustrations of the era. I acknowledge the limitations of this technology in terms of factuality, and ground generated content on open access resources whenever possible.
This project is still in development, and not available on App Stores yet.
