KYOTO The creator of a popular smartphone app, which uses artificial intelligence to identify wild plants and animals in photos, believes it can one day help improve environmental conservation efforts.
Downloaded more than 250,000 times in the two years since its official release, the free app lets users learn the names of living things they encounter by chance.
When a user takes a photo of an animal or a plant with their smartphone, the app, called Biome, displays the subject’s name after it analyzes the image, along with the photo’s time and location data.
The app covers more than 90,000 species of creatures found in Japan nearly all of them and lets users easily share their photos with others. It also comes with a gaming feature called Quest, which gives users in-game badges or prizes when they find certain creatures.
