Herb quest: Digital vault of medicinal plants used in ayush
The fusion of traditional medicinal knowledge with modern technology opens new doors for preserving and making age- old practices more accessible. Herb Quest is a digital platform designed to serve as a comprehensive repository of medicinal plants used in AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy). The platform combines textual, visual, and interactive elements, providing an engaging and immersive experience. It features high- quality images of medicinal plants, complemented by audio and video descriptions to cater to a wide range of users. The use of 3D panoramic views, developed with WebGL, adds a unique interactive touch, allowing users to explore plants in a virtual environment. Built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the platform offers a responsive and user-friendly interface. Modern sharing features make it easy to spread knowledge, further enhancing its utility. Beyond documenting medicinal plant resources, it acts as an educational bridge between traditional medicine and contemporary digital innovation. By leveraging advanced web technologies, Herb Quest plays a vital role in preserving and promoting AYUSH practices, making them accessible to audiences around the world.
