# 🍌 Nano Banana: Dynamic Image Creation - Competition Submission

## Gemini Integration Writeup

**Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Features Used:**

Our application leverages Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Preview (Nano Banana) as the core engine for dynamic image creation. The integration focuses on three key capabilities:

1. **Word-Based Image Editing**: Users can transform images using natural language prompts, enabling intuitive visual manipulation without technical expertise.

2. **Reality Blending**: The application seamlessly fuses different visual elements, allowing users to blend construction imagery with futuristic or artistic elements.

3. **Dynamic Completion**: Leveraging Gemini's unique world knowledge, the system intelligently completes unfinished constructions with contextually appropriate details.

**Central Implementation:**

Gemini 2.5 Flash Image is the primary processing engine, handling all core transformations through three specialized modes:
- **Complete Mode**: Finishes incomplete constructions with architectural accuracy
- **Edit Mode**: Modifies specific elements while maintaining visual coherence  
- **Blend Mode**: Fuses multiple visual concepts into cohesive results

The application showcases Gemini's advanced image understanding by automatically adapting prompts based on construction type (buildings, bridges, roads) and applying style-specific transformations (realistic, futuristic, artistic).

Optional features (YOLO detection, ElevenLabs voice) enhance the experience but Gemini remains the core innovation, demonstrating dynamic visual storytelling capabilities that weren't previously possible with traditional image editing tools.

## Key Innovation

This application transforms construction visualization by enabling natural language control over complex architectural completions, making advanced image editing accessible to non-technical users while leveraging Gemini's world knowledge for contextually accurate results.
