SYNAPSE
Inspiration
Trash out of space Out of this world 1.2 million untracked objects
combining space trash clean up and meta running glasses Astronauts exercise for at least 2 hours a day to prevent bone density and muscle loss during their time in space. To make this more interesting, we took this concept and applied it to a game that lets you remotely collect space trash, while you are running. Our program tracks the heart rate to power
What it does
running interactive and fun for astronauts while helping clean out space trash. The user is inside the drone and the drone follows the user running.
How we built it
blender to 3D-model satellites, rocks, and debris. Unity scripts to create moveable blender objects, and game logic.
Challenges we ran into
Blender, merge conflicts on github Used youtube tutorials, lots of troubleshooting, and plenty of help from mentors and friends.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Had fun :D game looks cool!!
What we learned
Blender, unity
What's next for SYNAPSE
The data that SYNAPSE collects will be used for an ML/AI model that will eventually get good enough at differentiating between what is and isn’t trash to do it on its own. ML component How much trash we collected We will also add a feature where running faster on the treadmill will increase your speed in the game as well. Recycle the metal into new parts for satellites
