Mapping The ARboretum

The Arnold Arboretum has a lot of data on the trees it houses, but it's packaged in a form designed for researchers, not the general public. Mapping the ARboretum aims to provide an intuitive AR display for this data, to augment the physical experience at the arboretum. It features informational elements that overlay data about the trees you're looking at on top of the trees in digital space.
