Have you ever seen an animal and wondered "What is that?"
That's basically where WildLens starts.
WildLens is an AI-powered wildlife companion that helps you identify animals, learn about different species, and explore wildlife sightings from around the world.
The idea is simple:
See something interesting → Identify it → Learn about it → Discover more.
And hopefully, the more we learn about wildlife, the more we care about protecting it.
Take a picture of an animal and use AI to find out what species it might be.
Instead of just getting a name, you can explore more information about the animal and learn what makes it unique.
Once you've found an animal, you can dive deeper into things like:
- Where it lives
- What it eats
- How it behaves
- Interesting facts
- Conservation status
Have a question about an animal?
Just ask.
You could ask something like:
Why do pandas eat bamboo?
Or:
Where does this animal usually live?
The goal is to make learning about wildlife feel more like having a conversation than reading a textbook.
WildLens also lets users explore wildlife sightings on a map.
See where different animals have been spotted and discover the wildlife that exists in different parts of the world.
Planning to explore somewhere new?
WildLens can help you learn about the wildlife you might encounter along the way and make your trip a little more interesting.
Wildlife spotting, but make it a game.
Wild Bingo turns discovering animals into small challenges that encourage you to look around, explore, and learn as you go.
One of the ideas behind WildLens is that a wildlife sighting doesn't have to be just a cool photo sitting on someone's phone.
With the user's permission, sightings can be saved and displayed on the map.
Over time, these sightings could help create a bigger picture of where wildlife is being observed.
This could potentially be useful for:
- Wildlife enthusiasts
- Students and educators
- Researchers
- Conservation groups
The idea is to connect individual discoveries with a bigger picture of wildlife and conservation.
At a high level, the experience looks something like this:
