Bolide Detection Systems

What is a bolide detection system?

• Software that can detect threats of meteor and meteroite impacts to other objects
  • In the past, thought of as detecting strikes on Earth (http://bolid.es)
  • Focus of this talk is bolide strikes in space (space stations, shuttles)
• Can also be used to automate evasive manuevers
• As more and more satellites, space shit is launched, the likelyhood of bolide strike in space increases, thus the need to keep track of all objects
• A tiny pebble can be catastrophic to humans in space. Loss of pressure, air to breathe. Extremely expensive to replace space equipment.

1. Visual mockups, baseline views to have visuals of data, consistent formatting of HTML, trying different data types, use of Pry, pushing through until it worked (not walking away with bad code).
2. Dynamic snake_case JSON parser
  a. We knew we needed to parse the JSON but spent too much time trying to make it work for any key values instead of the specific values we knew we needed. 
  b. I think in the future always keep in mind that you should keep it as simple as possible as long as it works, and go back and make it better later. Keep pushing forward and check off stories instead of making the first story as good as possible.
  c. I think we improved at keeping the focus on the finish line and pushing forward without getting stuck on one piece of functionality. We all worked together to bounce ideas off each other and that allowed us to quickly get through code instead of one person getting stuck without knowing what to do next.

Effortful

Pitch

Keep your change, lose your guilt and start giving back to those in need by rewarding positive behavior with basic human necessities, education or opening a door to future employment.

Problem

The problem I am trying to solve is offering a non-monetary reward for creating positive influences in our community, specifically for the homeless population.

Immersive Journalism with VR

Why You Should Get Your News with VR

• Imagine waking up and walking among the news, not reading it.
• Instead of saying 'oh another bomb went off 4000 miles away...sad', you could could emphasize with the victims and understand their struggles.
• However, some may consider this an entry point for criticism, claiming that immersive journalism undermines objectivity because the audience can be put through an experience with a controlled viewpoint. Certainly in the digital age, visual and audio material can be rapidly manipulated to create a semblance of truth which has no relationship to facts.

Clouds Over Sidra

• A VR video capturing the life of a 12 year old Syrian girl done by the United Nations.
