This is a desktop view, but our app also works on mobile.
IgnisGlobal is a tool which was made by a team of high school students has the following features:
- Fire spotting: users can add fire alerts based on location, a photo of the blaze and a description. The information is verified through an algorithm. Moreover, we use a Nasa database to show a complete collection of data on a map, (i.e. fires on the map).
- Local-chat: user can communicate on a chat group on radius of 10-15km from the fire zone.
- Specific information to be given (phone number, instructions): based on the situation, the app will provide different sets of data in order to help people handles a specific type of event.
- Generating routes: using the fire spotting feature we will help the users find the best path out of the danger zone as well as a list with the closest hospitals.
- Notifications: using a database we will send a notification/message to each user we would detect in a dangerous area.
- Voice assistance: if more guidance is needed then the users will be able to call emergency dispatchers.
It was quite hard to implement the features in less than 24 hours, but we wish to continue the project and add even more to it. It is open-source and more information about it is going to be released on open-solaris.org.
After alpha testing is done for IgnisGlobal, this will take around two or three months, we will make the GitLab repository public so others and can contribute and begin best testing.
NEXT FEATURES TO IMPLEMENT (while in alpha):
- Predict fire trends, with machine learning
- Local weather and traffic information (traffic information will play an important role in establishing an escape path
- notify nearby residents and local fire department, notify people driving by, allow people to subscribe to fire warnings
- how fire locations and tracks on maps, embed animation, display detailed fire data
Solaris also has the Solaris Rockets project which involves making advanced model rockets, like the models made by Joe Barnard, featured on his YouTube channel BPS.Space.
