This project is solving the Bodies in Spacey Motion challenge. Description
We are ambitious and crazy Wizards team of X-TECH, We are participating in NASA’s Space Apps Challenge 3th time. First Year We decided to go on the Moon with Kinect motion control, here is the result (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjS3Wl1mJpE) Past Year We decided to become an ASTRONAUT and fly to space with Oculus VR headset, here is the result (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3_d4QzdOkc
This year We are Discovering Mars with Oculus VR and Kinect 2. Stay Tuned https://twitter.com/xtechspace
We are creating Virtual Reality Experience to Feel and Try walking, jumping, physics on the Moon.
Its not just a fun but also very inspiring, that We should dream Big and work Hard.
The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation.
Well, space is there, and we’re going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God’s blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.
