NOI Hackathon Summer Edition

{ "Project Genesis" }

{

An AI-powered simulation engine that forecasts plant growth under given environmental conditions. Given an initial plant image and a set of stimuli, Project Genesis generates a new, photorealistic image of the plant's final state, along with a scientific description of what happened and why.

Goal: Creating a robust, open-source application that accurately models plant growth and handles "strange" reasoning inputs with scientific and visual fidelity.

 

Impact: Demonstrate a powerful method for predictive biological modeling. This technology can be applied to agriculture for crop forecasting, to education for botanical studies, and to creative fields for generating dynamic natural assets.
