SALEM - Space Apps Challenge

SALEM| Rising Water

Project Details

The Challenge | Rising Water

Sea levels are rising around the world, and approximately 40% of the human population lives in coastal zones. Your challenge is to help communicate the impacts of rising oceans by creating a visualization tool that illustrates the changes caused by rising sea levels in your region.

Submerge

Submerge aims to raise awareness and inspire people to step up and do their part in solving this issue.

SUBMERGE

Sea the reality.

OUR TEAM

United by a common goal, Team SALEM is composed of student researchers from different fields of science and technology. Our team aims to provide a user-friendly and immersive experience to our users.

BACKGROUND

Approximately 40% of the world’s population lives in the coastal regions. Rising sea levels are a big danger to them. On a local scale, Davao City is a largely coastal city so it is greatly affected by the rising water levels.

OUR SOLUTION

The Submerge is a 3D application that was created to simulate the effects of rising water levels and what causes it. In both interactive and virtual reality modes, the user can sea (pun intended) the dangers and implications of rising water levels in our world. Through the use of this app, the users can become more aware of the current situation of the Earth and can become inspired to step up and do something no matter how small.

IN THE FUTURE

Further pursuance of the development of this app can mean a larger scale and scope, specifically, a global scale. Using data from all around the world, we can make a better application that can raise awareness on the implications of rising water levels and inspire the people to step up and make a difference no matter how small it may seem.
