Glacier Explorers | Polar Quest

The Challenge | Polar Quest

Design a quest-like game to teach others about polar environments and how they are changing. Use NASA data to help adventurers plan their quest and present them with challenges along the way.

Glacier Explorers

Our application has two main aims. the first aim is to increase ordinary people about the glacier zones. the second aim is to help real explorers in thier trips to save thier lives.

Glacier Explorers

Clearing missunderstanding of glacier environments is role as youth. So, we have designed an app in a form of a game to accomplish two main aims. The first one is to analyse changes of glacier time periods by choosing a specific glacier zones in diffrent time periods. By choosing the zone, a video will appear to give general information about the glacier zone. The user will play in the conditions of this zone in the chosen time. he will feel he is in real exploratory trip as our game is 360 degree and it is 3d ! we put this zones in a form of game. user will travel and discover tranis of this zone, he will face dangers and try to through it. we give him hints to pass these dangers. we offer several supplies to help him in his trip suchas food,cloths, etc..The second aim is helping real explorers in them trips with the current conditions and disasters and how can he use his supplies to overcome it as the application will be connected to NASA's data , ice sat and GLMS to update these data continously. this will give real explorers chance to explore these zone before going to this zone. this part will be important for explorers as it will provide them from dangers and save them life we added extra information category in this app if you want to know more information and there is a test category to measure the precentage of understanding this glacier zone . our application is provid the user with several languages to enable peoples from all of the world to use our applicatoion .
