This team project raises awareness on California's water crisis by using a community driven platform.
Rico empowers individuals to use their cameras to document water-intensive crops in their local area to gather data on the impact of groundwater depletion in the San Joaquin Valley, contributing to community-driven scientific research.
Trying on Different Lenses
By allowing users to assume various roles and receive custom attributes based on their choice, we enhance their experience and offer insight into how others are affected by the groundwater crisis.
Community Engagement
Locating other researchers who have previously documented the area and reviewing their latest findings is crucial for keeping the community informed about the long-term impact.
Rico, The Guide
Utilizing augmented reality to assist researchers in pinpointing the closest documentation area, simplifying the locating process.
Details at a glance
Our mobile camera acts as an accessible tool, quickly providing information on water-intensive crops. This aids users in promptly understanding what they should document.
Long-Term Impact
Over time, the curated documentation photos will serve as milestones, shared with the community to raise awareness among others.
