Plants can add life and magic to your desk, but growing them can be difficult, so let's add some virtual plants instead...
Plantstellation is an AR toy for arranging plants. The mobile app and markers can be downloaded here.
Plantstellation was built with Unity and uses Vuforia for AR.
I learned basic shader programming with this tutorial series from Alan Zucconi, and I learned about ramp shading and outline shading from this tutorial from Lindsey Reid and Wikibooks.
While making this app, I actually did start growing some real plants. Some are thriving and some have passed on. 💖
