Entry: Treeprint

Treeprint is a poetic application for World Wide Fund for Nature to create a link between humans and nature through the use of iPhone's fingerprint sensors to hook users up with trees whose rings resemble the markings on their digits. This application provides information on the trees such as location, threats of deforestation and its surrounding wildlife. More importantly, it enables users to easily make a donation to WWF via their Apple ID.
