Read full description

TreescapeDesign is a powerful Augmented Reality Visualization tool which allows both home owners and landscaping professionals to virtually plant and visualize trees from an assortment of 72 3D models, in 3 sizes for each tree variety. The collection encompasses selections from Broadleaf, Evergreen and Fruit varieties.  The app downloads with 9 free trees, and In-App purchases of available Tree Packs. These packs include 3 sizes, Planter, Mid-Life and Mature sizes. And there are three bonus, limited use preview trees. Once virtually planted, the user may adjust the lighting and even add realistic shadows to the virtual scene or move the placed trees to fine-tune your Treescape Scene. And once the scene is set, the user can take a photo of the AR scene, saving it automatically to the device Photos Library for review and sharing of your tree scape design. The power of AR allows you to walk around your scene to take pictures from as many angles as desired because the AR trees remain in the location you virtually planted them. Treescape Design is simple to use, and is built to operate without Wifi or Cellular connections once the app is installed and In-App purchases are made. This allows the user to be able to create these AR visualizations no matter how remote the location of the property where real trees will eventually be planted. With a wide variety of trees in multiple sizes the home owner or landscaping pro can really understand how the design will look before spending the first penny on the real trees. Visualization tools like this save you time and money and can help insure your landscaping design will be successful.
