Virtual Planetary Exploration

Your challenge is to create interactive 3D models of equipment (e.g., planetary geology tools) that future space explorers can use for activities like exploring a planetary surface.

VIRTUAL PLANETARY EXPLORATION

Summary

In this project we have developed low poly interactive 3d models for creating planetary exploration experience. We have used blender for creating 3d models and A-frame for WebVR.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We developed the project so as to make future astronauts to learn without the need of going to space.
It is so important that a space agency cannot take all astronauts to space inorder to train them. They can do it virtually
It uses virtual reality to create a same experience in space.
A-frame uses java script frame work to create web VR.
We hope to create more interactively by adding interactive tasks and experiments that were conducted in other planets.;

How We Developed This Project

We have used blender to develop 3d models. We have achieved in developing low poly models. Our main aim is to develop more 3d low poly interactive models. Our team was interested so much in game development as well as VR. The thing that inspired our team are the various tools used by astronauts in other planets. We used HTML, JS and CSS for coding and Blender 3d for 3d modelling. One main problems we faced is the time. we aimed to create more models rather than creating interaction. Another thing is that we lack hardware such as a VR controller. we were depended only on our smartphones instead of a VR headset. Anyhow we are so thankful and happy with our result. We learnt many many things in these two days.
