2) Discovery-Driven Visual Exploration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Designed search results to highlight the unique aesthetics of each species. This triggers intellectual curiosity, encouraging users to “explore by sight” and discover plants they weren’t initially looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Efficient Video Interaction Strategy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

4) Deepening Knowledge through Associative Learning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Leveraged the psychological effect of “Associative Memory” by displaying related species at the bottom of each page. Showing plants with shared characteristics helps users build a mental network of knowledge, making information more memorable while encouraging serendipitous discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
