Cosmosity

It's just rocket science, learn the science behind space and technology in the most immersive way possible.

Comment

Inspiration

With the rapid developments in space exploration and rocket science, we found it important to trash the lingo ** "it's not rocket science" ** and rather create a fun and engaging way to encourage high school and mid-school students to pursue and explore this field which has otherwise put a hat of a hard and scary person. We must prepare the future generation and make them more broadminded towards such subjects.

What it does

So it uses a combination of easy to understand video/texts and an immersive AR view to make the content more engaging and fun to learn and understand!, Its a very simple app but with a very novel and dedicated goal.

How We built it

Our team consisted of beginners, so it basically required us to hack and learn various topics to be able to create this web-application. We started by designing the UI/UX ( https://www.figma.com/file/zqaTxWFA2zFCdpvWccNwl9/Track-UI-UX-Cosmosity?node-id=1%3A5 ) for the app and ideated a lot of possible ways to approach the problem ( Design Thinking ), followed by us doing EchoAr crash courses, learning react native ( By the end we messed it up ) and running around various websites and research documents. We although ended up using no code for the platform ( At the last moment ) because of some reasons the react build wouldn't complete, and finally create the application.

  • We are also adding the react file if you guys want to check it out

Challenges We ran into

  • Not able to get react native to work properly
  • Working with a team having different time zones
  • Getting the right content and the right 3d assets for the AR
  • Researching the best no-code platform for the final build ( almost 3 hours before the deadline )

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We learned a lot during the project since it was our first hackathon
  • Being able to finally get the product out is just another level of satisfaction
  • We really worked hard to get the UI right, and we love it!
  • Making teams with people from the other side of the globe and still being able to work it out!

What we learned

  • Time Management
  • Coding Skills and explored a lot about immersive technology
  • Teamwork!
  • Importance of consensus building

What's next for Cosmosity - Its just rocket science

  • We as a team are planning to continue to work on the project, spread awareness about space and rocket science, and also planning to launch it to the play store once we have a very good hold on the contents and the tech stack of the application.
  • Cosmosity is going to having more courses including Rocket Science, Astronomy, Space Exploration, Extra Terrestial lives, and much more! we are super stoked and ready to take the product to the next level
