Project Prompt
Create an interactive visual explanation that explains an idea, a process, relationships, or a complex concept through a larger device-based solution. It must be intellectually informative and visually engaging.
Project Goal
Create an interactive experience that will be a resource to provide a better understanding of the importance of the technical parts behind a space telescope.
Use Case
My user is someone that has some sort of interest in space and is open to learning more. My solution will let them decide on how far into the experience they want to go and what they want to know by making their own guided interaction decisions. Also providing them as much context as they want to investigate the telescopes.
Casual Interest in Space
12-30-year-olds
Really aren’t that aren’t interested in space all that much, they just saw a cool interactive experience that they wanted to use.
Space Museum Interactive Learning
12-18-year-olds
Currently are at an air and space museum, looking at the space telescopes, and want to interact with them to better understand them.
Key Features
- User Guided Experience
- 4 Interactive Space Telescopes
- Interactions into the Parts of the Telescopes
Design Evolution
Prototype
What I Learned
- 3D modeling takes time
- Designing for the 3D space is something I will do again
The final results of this project, I couldn’t be more satisfied with. With modeling for all of the telescopes, my first time modeling in about a year, and I learned so much. To me, the results speak for themselves because of how impressive they are. Yes, there are still areas of improvement with this project, but I feel like after going through this whole process I have developed exponentially. I am excited to use 3D in a user interface for the future and developing more with it to create another project that I am proud of.
