Googlies
Summary
Googlies are electronic high-tech glasses that would have a GPS chip installed in them for accurate coordinate mapping. They would send the location onto an android app through which the person can view satellites in their field of view superimposed with satellites available directly above them in real-time. This can be done through a collecting information throuh various platforms and satellites and processing it in a digital elevation model. Through this the person would be able to see the satellite's point of view. The googlies app will also have a game which would have 3 stages- Satellite assemble, Satellite launch control, and aligning the satellite into the correct orbit.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We developed 3 tools, Googlies(electronic glasses for 3d viewing), Googlie app which has games - satellite assembly, Launch control execution and aligning the satellite in the accurate orbit through jet propulsion and control. Last is the Googie theatre which will provide a 7d experience for people with googlies paired with headphones (having outer space sounds collected by NASA Satellites) and journey to the outer world .We hope to increase the user's curiosity in outer space through this initiative.
How We Developed This Project
The members of our team are all night sky wanderers who find peace under the stars and moon. This feeling motivated and pushed us to take this challenge in order to understand the family members of our space of our sky. We used Android Studio,Java, AutoCad and SolidWorks to develop the various stages of our project. The major problem we faced as a team was shortage of time because we all did not have our weekends off so it was really a very big challenge to come with an idea and then develop it. Our biggest accomplishment as a team was that though the situation and circumstances were not in our favour but still we were able to complete the challenge as much as we could.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
The resources that were provided really helped us a lot especially https://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ , https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/news/orbital_debris.html and
https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/satellite-database in figuring what exactly is there in space and how we can demonstrate it in a much friendly and simple manner. I think without these resources it would have been really difficult for us to figure out a few things , but we would have a found a way anyways. Also it doesn't really matter whether we go ahead in this competition or not all that really matters is that we got to learn a variety of new tools.
