Ash

ASH - AI Pocket Field Guide is an AI tool inspired by the Pokedex, created to aid children in nature exploration and learning. Developed as a response to the increasing loss of global biodiversity, ASH aims to educate the next generation of ecology advocates on protecting biodiversity.

Through active, discovery-based play, ASH leverages the modern interaction of a point-and-click digital camera, encouraging kids to photograph the life around them.

Using AI, these photos are then converted into detailed animal cards, covering everything from domestic animals to plants and uncommon insects. Besides engaging children, the tool includes parental controls to supervise the data their children collect, ensuring their safety and security while using ASH.

The ASH device was developed using advanced technology like SLS 3D printers and a Coral board from Google that runs the iNaturalist dataset for identifying species.
