Home Planet at Your Fingertips
BlueMarble
Summary
7.8 billion people ,not everyone knows a lot about Earth, they don't know how learning about the home planet allows everyone, especially children, to gain a greater appreciation for the frailness of Earth. Knowing why your planet is extra special and how you can protect that uniqueness helps keep the planet safe and healthy for their generation to live in. Plus, learning about space is fun and interactive ,but there is no app that can provide every information at a one place .So, here we come up with a solution BLUE MARBLE.This app shows the solar system in an Augmented Reality and all the useful information about Earth in one place.
How We Addressed This Challenge
Visit the link for presentation:- https://youtu.be/bjkT8y5tBIo
We have developed an app that copes with the lack of knowledge about our home planet and outer space within the population. There are many people who don't know much about Earth. This app allows the user to gain more knowledge on multiple topics about Earth as well as outer space like Nature, Climate changes, wonders of the world, NASA discoveries, etc.
Once the user starts the app, he/she is shown some information regarding the app. After that he/she can view the Augmented Reality of the Solar System and the Information panel where all the Information regarding Earth and outer space is shown. We have also added the text-to-speech functionality in all the information panels for the ease of understanding the information.
Project Apk in the github Repo is with the name :- app-debug.apk
How We Developed This Project
We have used android studio for the development of an android app and figma for UI and the languages used were Java and xml.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We have tried to represent the space data in a user attractive article form that have the feature of text to speech and there are other categories which presents the data of earth in a very attractive manner.
Project Demo
The demonstration apk of the app is available in our github repo thats linked here.
