The Design of a Mobile Application MetaPlant.

This work explores the path to the convergence of virtual and real-world plants under the context of the metaverse. A mobile application named MetaPlant has been designed to offer a platform for learning about planting experiences. The application simulates the development and growth of individual plants based on the GreenLab model. It incorporates various features including the simulations of virtual fields and environmental conditions, the interactions with virtual plants, the visualization of plants using OpenGL, and user-to-user communications through the friend and community systems. This work can potentially integrate virtual and real-world farming practices using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, produce digital products through Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), and promote sustainable farming practices and knowledge sharing within a vibrant virtual farming community.
