  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
