3D Botanical & Environmental Gallery 

This curated interactive gallery showcases the future of real-world archiving using accessible mobile technology. Every 3D asset featured here—from the tranquil Loughton stepping stones to the intricate details of an orange lily—was captured entirely on the fly using a standard mobile phone camera.

Rather than relying on heavy studio setups or expensive lidar equipment, these models demonstrate how everyday hardware can cleanly map complex natural textures, reflective water surfaces, and delicate organic structures right in the field.

More than just a collection of cool 3D models, this gallery represents a major milestone toward Gaia’s Web: the grand vision of a living Digital Twin of Earth. By anchoring these lightweight, photorealistic mobile scans to their exact real-world GPS coordinates, this project lays the groundwork for a global "Nature Street View"—a decentralized, community-mapped ecosystem where anyone can explore a remote forest or a favorite local picnic spot in its true, organic 3D form straight from a web browser.
