Summary:
Exoplanet Quest is an educational game that combines VR and
terminal-based interaction, designed for teens and adults interested
in space exploration and planetary science. Players explore distant
exoplanets, gather data on atmospheres and orbits and use the
terminal to analyze and report their findings.
By blending real-world scientific data with immersive
gameplay, Exoplanet Quest offers a fun, hands-on experience that
deepens understanding of the universe. It’s perfect for teens and
adults curious about space and STEM fields, making learning
interactive and engaging.
Our SSH-based terminal app serves as the interface to interact with our
custom AI model, creating a secure shell connection for clients—crucial
for the security and resilience needed in space missions. No web
browser is required, making it accessible from any computer with
terminal access, as it doesn’t need a visual interface.
Once connected, requests are forwarded through a reverse proxy to
our server. After establishing the connection, we render the TUI app on
the client’s terminal. The app communicates with our exoplanet
generation AI, generating one of the infinitely possible exoplanet candidates.
It displays a QR code in the terminal and prints a mission-specific URL
accessible via mobile or PC. Additionally, the SSH server provides an interactive
UI with a form to report observations during the remote mission. After that,
you receive feedback on your report.
