Planetary OlympicsOverview The Impetus The Idea The Aims
Impetus for Innovation • The Problem: OSC lacks a modern, entertaining, and interactive Sports Exhibition • The Challenge to OSCSS: To design and create an innovative and fun exhibit enlightening the public on an aspect of sports science to contribute to a new Sports Exhibition • The Wonderer Proposal: Simulate sporting under various environmental conditions, to be inspired by solar planets
Sporting on Outer Worlds: The Concept • Many aspects of sport playing (e.g. human physiology, the physics of equipments) are influenced by environmental conditions • Exhibits isolate environmental conditions and respective sporting aspects to demonstrate effect, using normal conditions on Earth as control • Make use of other planets as host locales on which these environmental conditions are manifested, infeasibility of life disregarded • Each solar planet is associated with a sport on which it exerts relevant and interesting effects, which are simulated through combination of interaction and displays
Goals • Target audience: there is something to be learnt for and played by everyone! • Instill appreciation for the mechanics of sports in terms of their relationship with the environment (i.e. the science involved) • Inform visitors on surface conditions of solar planets (i.e. outer celestial bodies) through fun simulations in context • Provide a challenging and engaging learning experience for visitors, guiding them through exploration towards self-discovery
