Biome vs Arborly

Biome is a mobile app that turns your phone into a powerful field tool for measuring trees. Use Lidar and AI to measure diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, and identify species. No tape, no clinometer, no manual notes! Designed for smallholders, researchers, and carbon project developers, Biome helps you collect accurate, verifiable field data 10× faster. Features: • Lidar-based DBH and height measurement • Tree segmentation using AI (TreeSeg) • GPS-stamped plot data • Offline mode for remote fieldwork • Export raw measurements for carbon MRV workflows Funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Tested and validated in real reforestation projects. *Requires device with LIDAR sensor (e.g. iPhone 12 Pro+)

Design perfectly shaped trees, plan a virtual garden, and measure real trees with precision — right from your iPhone. Arborly blends simple on-screen guides with powerful AR tools, so anyone can prune, prototype, and play with topiary shapes in minutes. Create. Trim. Measure. Repeat. WHAT YOU CAN DO - 2D Trim Guides — Align a live camera overlay to classic shapes (circle, heart, hexagon, dome, and more), with inside/outside shading and dashed contours for clean, confident cuts. - 3D Topiary Forms (AR) — Place realistic 3D shapes in your space, adjust position, height, and scale with step-by-step controls, and preview the look before trimming. - Virtual Garden / Forest — Tap + to add multiple AR trees, mix shapes and sizes, position them in your yard, and take photos — without disturbing a leaf. - Tree Height & Diameter — Place a base, grow a vertical pole to your tree’s top, add a diameter cylinder, and read accurate measurements in meters or feet. - Smart Onboarding — A playful, animated tree shows how trimming works and how guides keep shapes precise. - One‑Tap Calibration — Helpful AR tuning prompts ensure reliable tracking before you start. - Photo Capture — Save snapshots of your virtual designs and before/after trims. WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT - Simple, guided steps keep you focused (Placement → Position → Height → Scaling → Trimming) - Clean visuals: crisp dashed contours, natural materials, and readable labels - Thoughtful details: aspect lock, precise scaling, unit switching (m/ft), and persistent AR objects in your garden HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a 2D or 3D shape. 2. Follow the on-screen steps to align, size, and preview. 3. Use the guide to prune along the line — your cuts will look neat and intentional. 4. In Virtual Garden, place multiple trees and capture photos of your design. 5. Use Tree Height to measure height and diameter directly in AR.
