Quiet Planet

The COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting social distancing recommendations and related restrictions have led to numerous short-term changes in economic and social activity around the world, all of which may have impacts on our environment. Your challenge is to use space-based data to document the local to global environmental changes caused by COVID-19 and the associated societal responses.

Probed Atmosphere

Summary

Intended to arouse in society the curiosity about emissions of polluting gases and how this directly affects the health of the population as well as the environment in the midst of a pandemic or not. The platform is born with the aim of processing specific data and transforming in accessible and real-time content in the various electronic devices the atmospheric air conditions and the possible harms of gases before their concentrations in the city or local region.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Given the theme of our challenge and the need to reassure the planet, we decided to focus on atmospheric issues because it is not a much discussed issue in everyday life and because we recognize that this subject needs attention. Our inspiration was to work with satellite data in order to transmit information about pollution to the population and at the same time encourage the search for solutions to a problem that affects society in general, because the increase in air pollution is directly related to the increase in the mortality rate from respiratory diseases, which at this time also involves covid-19 , for these reasons, we developed the project with the approach of improving respiratory health through an application that will notify about air quality. 

How We Developed This Project


The project was conceived after some questions about the challenge, the group discussed ideas until reaching a consensus, we were filtering the ideas, debating them and, finally, joining them for a better result. We use search tools to be within the theme covered. Our biggest problem was identifying what should be done at each stage, we get lost a few times, and we understand that it is part of the process and we can improve.  Nasa data were used to query satellite data in order to understand the quantitative and aggravating of the problem and image for pitch presentation.

We used the prototyping methodology present in software engineering and adobe XD programs, Adobe Photoshop to prototype the user experience (interfaces) and Adobe Premiere for promotional video editing aimed at the feasibility of the project.  And the canva to develop the arts.
