Insecta provides an engaging way to explore the wonderful world of insects. It includes a collection of weird and colorful insects, each featuring a description, habitat information, and a gallery of photos. You’re able to interact with highly detailed 3D models of each insect and hang out with them in augmented reality. The app’s amazing AR experience enhances users’ learning experience too. Choose from more than twenty insects from the collection and, in the blink of an eye, you’ll find one of those creepy creatures hanging out right by your desk. If your friends don’t believe you, take a picture and send it to them. You can also identify insects you encounter in the real world by taking a photo or uploading one from your gallery, allowing Insecta to analyze the image and help identify the insect.
