Virtual and Augmented Reality Application designed to educate on satellites, climate change and space debris

Malax

Discover more from a satellites' perspective. Learn about space debris, and, use our app as an educational tool that will show climate change. We have build in an augmented reality feature that allows the user to view the satellite as it hovers above them. Once the satellite is pressed on screen, you can then use virtual reality to view the earth and atmosphere from a satellites' perspective. We can view any space debris that is in the atmosphere by selecting it and the app will tell you what is floating around the earth. To develop this feature more for children we would like to game-ify this feature and you can eliminate any debris you find. We would like to use this app to open the interactive question on climate change and to educate what effects poor choices have on the environment. We will be able to view what the earth looked like before and as it is now. We would like there to be a past, present and future tense to this feature.
