U.S space agency NASA and Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite are delivering a “challenge” to game developers. The challenge is to create a Martian metaverse experience that can help prepare for an eventual trip to the red planet.
According to an official statement which was posted in Herox, a crowdsourcing problem-solving platform, NASA have called for developers to in its building of “Virtual Reality (XR) assets and scenarios for use by NASA in research focused on extravehicular activities on the surface of Mars.”
The challenge aims to provide an additional realistic experience to MarsXR, an already-started metaverse world that includes 400km2 of realistic Mars terrain, with realistic weather conditions and day and night transitions.
The challenge incorporates categories ranging from setting up camp, scientific research, maintenance, and exploration. Winners will be rewarded with a total prize money of $70,000, shared across twenty individual prizes.
The challenge has already gathered a lot of attention with more than 24 teams and 237 innovators contributing to the construction of the Martian simulation.
