## Description

What's That Bumblebee is an interactive Chrome extension designed to help users discover and identify the UK's 8 most common bumblebees. Utilizing augmented reality (on compatible devices), vivid illustrations, detailed images, and species information, this educational tool makes bumblebee identification accessible and engaging for all ages. 

Users can explore each bumblebee species individually, interact with 3D models that can be scaled, rotated, and observed from different angles, and compare similar species side by side. Additionally, the extension allows users to capture and share photographs of bumblebees, supports offline use, and promotes awareness and conservation through the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, it combines technology and nature education seamlessly.
