High-Level Project Summary
We developed a web application which revolves around a realistic and interactive 3d model of the moon on which you can pinpoint and see various seismic events that have occurred. You can also hover over said points and get information about them such as year, magnitude, type and so on. We built this using java script, specifically with the use of the js3 library.

Detailed Project Description
All of the previously mentioned methods and goals apply here as well. I can only add that we, as opposed to other teams, have used a 3d displacement map for the moons surface as well as hover information and free rotation of the main moon globe.

Hackathon Journey
I would describe it as overall incredibly positive and cheerful. it brought out creativity, work ethic and skill all combined with teamwork to achieve a single goal. it felt like truly working with a team on a life changing project.
