HiddenHarvest
A mobile marketplace that connects local farmers of polarizing but high-value crops like durian with adventurous food lovers through guided AR sampling experiences. Farmers often struggle to sell divisive crops despite premium prices, while consumers miss out on nutritious local foods due to unfamiliarity - we bridge this gap with try-before-you-buy discovery routes through orchards and markets.
The Wow Moment
You're walking through a local orchard when your phone pulses - a glowing AR beacon appears on an otherwise unremarkable tree. You scan it and suddenly see the fruit's story, how locals eat it, and a nearby tasting station. You take a bite of something you'd normally never try, and it's absolutely delicious - you just discovered your new favorite fruit that's been growing in your city for decades.
