The problem ASTROSPACE solves

Astronomy is very challenging to understand and learn due to its vast, gigantic and complex nature. Lack of Astronomy apps providing high quality visuals & quality content. Apps available are not Markerless AR apps thus having lot of dependencies. Thus, making astronomy fun while learning is important with latest tools & technologies.
ASTROSPACE is designed and developed keeping certain objectives in mind. These objectives surround the main goal of providing an engaging mode of entertainment.
Some of the objectives are as follows: • To provide a virtual entertainment environment which is more interactive than onscreen entertainment and aims to provide high quality visuals of our gigantic universe.
• To create immersive experience to explore science, space and life, bringing space experiences to life.
• To enlighten our next generation about the historic space missions ever led by mankind that were a major part of mankind’s space exploration program.
• To show the 3D models of the Spacecrafts and satellites in AR that were deployed in space and were a major part of the astronomical events and missions and also enlighten the user about their wonderful journey in space.
• Providing a way that can enable the user to experience a spacewalk and live life like an Astronaut!
• To make the users, especially the children, aware of the greatest astronauts of time who led the historic missions and were the brave geniuses behind the success of these missions
• Also Aims at providing knowledge about space along with entertainment, thus enabling users to make productive use of time.
System Implementation is as follows:

Challenges we ran into

Creating an Interactive Spacewalk was a big challenge for the team. We brainstorm on the feature and decided to make an AR Portal for Spacewalk And Grand Hall of Fame. Secondly Website Integration in echoAR was a bit challenging as well.
