A walk on Mars

There is a great deal of interest from national space agencies to go to the Moon and Mars. ESA wants to go to the Moon and establish a village there. NASA wants to go to Mars. Astronauts and Cosmonauts from all over the world are already living aboard the ISS. What can they do in their free time? It can’t be all about reading books or game play on computers. Think of new sports or games that could take into account the low gravity (e.g. a space lacrosse game, extreme basketball). What about real or virtual experiences involving the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon? Or following the paths of Sojourner, Spirit or Curiosity on Mars using a form of cross-country skiing? Think of new ways for to astronauts to use their free time. To present your results develop an app that makes use of virtual reality tools.

Our project was a 3D virtual reality application, which allows the user to experience a walk on the surface of Mars. The main goal was to create an educational product and at very low cost.

The team that worked on this project is composed by two people. Alejandro Robledo and Renzo Guastavino, but for some reason, the website had some issues including the Renzo Guastavino's user in the list of team members. ("No Users Found.")
