AR and VR are becoming more common nowadays and the main reason for it is that people are becoming more welcoming towards them. Now AR technologies are seeping into several aspects of a person’s life. We see them in games, apps, and modern AR headsets. But have we seen them in gardening? Now we have!
The Connected Garden is a company that is vested in developing smart products for your garden. They are a fairly new company and their innovative product range have brought them into the spotlight. Their latest addition is the Connected Garden Super sensor. It is a sensor unit that you can place in your garden, and the great thing is that it comes with an AR app that lets you plan your garden.
The Super Sensor stays true to its name because it can monitor a variety of factors. The sensor can measure the light intensity, humidity, water content in the soil, and the amount of fertilizer present in the soil. The best thing is that it can also be your personal gardening partner.
All You Need to Know About Gardening Right at Your Finger Tips!
Based on the time of the year and place, it can tell what to plant and helps you with its maintenance and care once you have planted something. The Super Sensor comes with a bridge that sends over the data it collects from the super sensor and sends it to the cloud. The same information will be synced with the app that you have installed to update you of important notification and messages.
All these features and we haven’t talked about AR yet! You can have an AR rendering if your garden with the use of your smartphone. Once you point your camera at the garden, it will help you view details on the plants in real-time. You will be able to know which all plants need watering or which ones need pruning etc.
This type of information is a boon for all up and coming gardeners. Everything will be neatly arranged with tags and other visual cues. Connected Garden hopes to price the sensor at less than $100 and the app will have a $5 monthly fee attached to it.
We will see the product line launch towards the end of 2019.
