OSIRIS-Rex : Bennu and Back

High-Level Project Summary

My team have developed a click-based interactive digital video game based on the events of OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission. Under the “Space Quest: The Game” challenge, we hope to deliver the story and narrative through interactive media to spread awareness and foster interest to the general audience about space exploration and beyond.

Detailed Project Description

This project aims to teach and educate players about space and the challenges of exploration. By using interactive media, players can select and make decisions in the game while learning and unfolding the story about OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission. We hope that this solution fits the requirements and players can enjoy and learn more about space exploration. To build this project, we need a workstation with laptop or PC desktop and as for the software, we used multimedia tools such as Unity (C#), Blender and Adobe Creative Cloud to develop the content.

Space Agency Data

The data and resources from OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission really help us a lot in building this project. With all the resources and footages from NASA, we can build the interactive and bring the game to life.

Hackathon Journey

Great experience! Although with the exhaustion of building the project continuously day and night, preparing the demo and the final project, it was all worth it and we are happy with our work. Of course there is always some part of the project that is not good enough and need improvement, but I think we did good considering the two-day timeline.
