The Sun Time-lapse Navigator

Join Jimmy and Rory at The Insight Lab as they delve into the Sun Time-lapse Navigator (STN), an innovative educational technology designed to enhance interest in astronomy and natural sciences. Despite a concerning decline in scientific careers in the Western Hemisphere, tools like STN aim to reignite curiosity through engaging features such as observing sunspots and utilizing Wiimote technology for an interactive experience. Learn about the usability challenges, goals, and future developments while exploring the wonders of our solar system.

Presentation Transcript

  1. The Sun Time-lapse Navigator Jimmy and Rory @ The Insight Lab

  2. Background • Why? • Educational technology • Interest in astronomy (and natural sciences) • (interest In natural sciences and scientific careers is declining in the Western Hemisphere)* * Carlos Elías (2009). The decline of natural sciences in the culture of mass media. Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 5, pp 393-404. doi:10.1017/S1743921311002572.

  3. What is it? • STN = Sun Time-lapse Navigator • Observe Sun Spots

  4. Solar Dynamic Observatory • Goals of the SDO + Our Goals

  5. Where we came in • Wavelengths • Usability • Click ‘n’ Drag • Wiimotes and SmoothBoard2 • User friendliness

  6. Wavelengths • ###### ??? • Searching for trends • Date stamp oddities

  7. Usability and Smoothness • Broken URLs • The skip fix bad

  8. Click n Drag • Think “Google Earth”

  9. Wiimotes and SmoothBoard2 • Setup and Calibration • Bluetooth Adapter • Wiimotes • Wiimote = Mouse • Key Bindings

  10. User Friendliness • Instructions popup • Lightbox and Futurebox • Button on Corner

  11. The Main Problem • How do we check the validity of a URL before it is loaded on the browser? • So we can create more wavelength sets • So we can guarantee that a certain number of images will load

  12. The Realization • For Teachers or for Researchers? • Why do we need…

  13. Current Issues/Tasks • Instructions • Manual + Video • //commenting code • Add wavelength details on image • Add more wavelengths

  14. To Be Continued
