Inspiration
Our team always had a passion for space exploration, so when we were thinking of cool hackathon applications to implement, we tried to think of ideas related to outer space and came up with Astra.ai.
What it does
Our app creates an outer space simulation where users can interact with different celestial objects, drag them around, and see how they affect other celestial objects. Each celestial body is also an AI Chatbot which can answer any information the user has about it.
How we built it
We used different technologies like React.js, Three.js, Unreal Engine, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build our project.
Challenges we ran into
Originally we planned to use React, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to implement our project, however we were not able to accurately accomplish the tasks using these technologies only. So we had to learn how to use Three.js and Unreal Engine to implement these tasks.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the fact that we were able to learned new technologies and also implement our ideas through the new software within the time constraints.
What we learned
We learned new technologies that we were unfamiliar with before, like Three.js and Unreal Engine.
What's next for Astra.ai
We came up with various different ideas, but could only implement some of them because of the time constraints. Our next steps are to complete the implementation of all our ideas and then publish the website so it is available to everyone.
