Lunapp

THE CHALLENGE: Book it to the Moon
Solar System

Develop an interactive app for children that uses smart phone and tablet sensory to locate the Moon (any time of the day, even below horizon), which unlocks current lunar data (phase, distance, etc), and then presents the user options for reading a "Moon" related story, view space agency photos and videos, and/or fun facts about the Moon. The goal of this challenge is edutainment and raising awareness about lunar missions around the world.

Explanation

Aim
This application aims to educate children about the moon through a game-like experience.

User Goal
Taking advantage of smartphone/tablet sensors, players will attempt to locate the moon with a VR interface based on their current geographical position on Earth. They can then traverse a 3D model of the moon through a Google Earth-like draggable interface. Distributed across the surface are various facts about the moon that players can find through exploration. Players are encouraged to zoom into the moon's surface with more interesting facts and stories to discover.
