Planet Crafting
Planet Crafting is a game inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope which uses its images to create a virtual environment that simulates the space; you can modify the chemical composition of various objects to observe different evolutional scenery.
Ourteam is made up of Programmers coming from Apple Developer Academyand Aerospace Engineering so we wanted to merge our competencies bymaking an App related to space. So we started by looking at everychallenge and got engaged by "On the shoulders of giants"that deals with the Hubble Space Telescope and got really inspired byall the images recorded by it. We thought that it would be amazing toexplore the space that we saw in the images, even better to interactwith it. Imagine a kid that could interact with all the planets inspace or even create new ones and see every single result; he will beastonished and get inspired by the project learning something new.Then we started working on it creating our first prototype.
SpaceApps is a NASA incubator innovation program.
