Inspiration:

As we witness the increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, we are eager to explore the possibilities of fusing these technologies to elevate the experience of space exploration. Our goal is to create a more immersive and captivating experience for space enthusiasts, by leveraging the power of AI and AR technologies in unprecedented ways.

What it does:

AstroPedia offers chat and AR experiences to explore planets in the Solar System. The chat feature allows users to ask specific planets questions, while the AR feature enables 3D exploration.

How we built it:

We used React, Material UI, and React Three Fiber for the front-end, and Chatbase.co for the chat systems.

Challenges we ran into:

We faced challenges when working with React Three Fiber for the first time. Additionally, we had a difficult time deciding how to implement the chat system feature.

Accomplishments that we're proud of:

Despite the challenges, we're thrilled to present AstroPedia as a groundbreaking platform that redefines how people learn about space. We're proud of its immersive atmosphere, engaging storytelling, and accurate information.

What we learned:

The process of creating AstroPedia has been a constant learning experience. Throughout this journey, we have come to understand the value of collaboration, pushing creative boundaries, and remaining true to our mission of making space exploration accessible and interactive.

We have also been introduced to new technologies such as React Three Fiber, Three.js, and integrating AI chat systems into our applications.

What's next for AstroPedia:

We are excited to continue developing our features after this weekend's hackathon. Our goal is to constantly expand the AstroPedia universe. We have plans to add new planets, moons, and missions in the near future, along with exciting features like multiplayer AR experiences and educational games. Our team is dedicated to making AstroPedia a valuable resource for educators, students, and space enthusiasts of all ages. We hope to inspire them to explore the wonders of our solar system and beyond.
