Making a native-tree guide easier to search on a phone.
Leaf characteristics help narrow the identification. Part of the wider AUT app I worked on.
A species list keeps names and images together. My contribution covered the rebuild, search and performance.
App workflow. My contribution was the rebuild, search and performance work.
A guide in the field
NZTrees helps people identify native New Zealand trees and keep a record of what they find. The wider AUT project connects identification with observation, making a phone useful as both a guide and a record of sightings.
My contribution
I worked on a rebuild of the existing React Native app through AUT’s Centre for Learning and Teaching, adding a new search system and improving performance for iOS and Android.
My role was in the rebuild and programming. The wider app and tree-identification project were created by a team at AUT.
