Category: Software (EdTech / HealthTech)
Difficulty: Intermediate
Time to Build: 4–6 weeks
Prerequisites: HTML, CSS, JavaScript basics, Three.js or similar 3D library
Deliverables: SRS, architecture diagram, 3D plant dataset, working prototype, test report
Problem Statement & Expected Outcome
Problem Statement
Medicinal plant knowledge is often limited to textbooks or field visits. There is a need for an immersive digital tool that lets students, researchers, and the public explore and learn about medicinal plants recognized by AYUSH.
Expected Outcome
An interactive 3D virtual garden where users can view medicinal plants, read about their uses and habitats, and take guided virtual tours on themes like immunity, digestion, and skin care.
Abstract
The Virtual Herbal Garden is a browser-based 3D application that showcases medicinal plants in a lifelike digital garden. Users can interact with realistic 3D plant models, learn about their botanical details and medicinal uses, and take themed virtual tours. This project combines engaging visuals with verified medicinal information, making it perfect for education, research, and public awareness.
Details: User Stories & Acceptance Criteria
-
As a student, I can click on 3D plants to view medicinal uses, cultivation tips, and habitat.
-
As a researcher, I can search and filter plants by therapeutic area.
-
As a visitor, I can take guided tours like Immunity Booster Plants or Skin Care Collection.
-
Acceptance: Each plant model loads in under 2 seconds on broadband; plant details are accurate and sourced from standard AYUSH references.
