today we are here as bite Busters our
team named bite Busters reflects to
stimulate Real World Tech challenges and
allows players to learn through problem
solving now let me introduce to our team
our problem statement is interactive
gamified approach to Ocean
literacy as we all know our ocean cover
More than 70% of the Earth's surface and
yet play a vital role to our planet our
oceans regulate climate provides food
and supports countless ecosystems yet
these critical environments are under
the threat for pollution over fishing
coral reef deterioration and climate
change despite the importance awareness
and understanding of these challenges
remain Loop particularly in the younger
generations to bridge this Gap we need
to rethink how to engage and educate
people about the ocean traditional
methods often fail to inspire action
this is where our project ocean Quest
comes ocean Quest is a 3D open world
game
uh designed to make ocean literacy
accessible engaging enjoyable and fun
now d d will give you a brief
information about our game ocean Quest
thank you Arya now as she mentioned our
oceans face numerous challenges and we
need a Fresh Approach to educate and
engage people on these critical issues
ocean Quest is our solution a 3D open
world game where players don't just
learn about the ocean then live it in
Ocean Quest players take on various
seagoing roles each task with a tackling
real world ocean issue like coral reef
detoriation plastic pollution and oil
spills our game doesn't just present
these challenges it immerses players in
them making every Mission an opportunity
to explore understand and solve these
pressing issues our oceans face today by
addressing these challenges through
engaging story driven missions ocean
Quest directly supports the UN ocean
decades goal with diverse gameplay and
environment that's as beautiful as it is
educational ocean Quest is more than
just a game it's an experience that
deepens your connection with the ocean
and aligns with the global efforts to
protect and sustain it to explain what
truly sets ocean Quest apart from other
ocean literacy Media or games I'll hand
it over to prangel
thank you D now addressing the query as
to what sets ocean Quest apart from
other ocean literacy Media or gains is
that ocean Quest offers a unique
experience with your very own house in
the game it's where you can save
progress change clothes customize your
character and manage inventory making it
your personal base in the ocean world
but the adventure extends being beyond
your house you can explore interactive
3D buildings like a barber shop a
clothing shop and an enise data center
for real ocean data these features
enhance the game's realism and fun the
game also includes quizzes in various
formats multiple choice image
identification and item Arrangement
correct answers or new in-game
currencies to unlock new roles and items
making learning
enjoyable and if you love a challenge
the leaderboard tracks your quiz scores
and Mission
progress top players receive special
rewards adding excitement and motivation
ocean Quest effectively addresses ocean
education by making it engaging and
massive with a personal based and
interactive locations players connect
deeply with the ocean world
quizzes and in-game rewards ensure
active participation while the
leaderboard adds a Competitive Edge
keeping the players motivated and
involved now to explain about the
technical details of a game I'll hand it
over to
vant Hello friends we are I am going to
talk about technical approach of our
team B Busters uh we are going to use
HTML CSS and JavaScript as a structure
for our front end and 3js and Canon JS
to manipulate 3D models and render real
realistic physics in our game also we
are going to use express JS a library
from njs in back end and going to use
mongodb and SQL for database
manipulation for hosting we are using
AWS free free services thank you as you
got a brief idea about our game let me
break down the feasibilities and
challenges and strategies to overcome it
about the feasibility the tools which we
are using are well supported and fulfill
our project need the blender provides
high quality 3D assets the game can be
accessible on both PC as well as mobile
application it is an educational game
and consist of fun and enjoyable task
challenges to keep user engaged our
challenges offer very interesting and
relevant ocean literacy content which
includes the 10 un decade Challenge and
more than
that let's see some challenges and
strategies to overcome creating 3D
elements and game physics may be
challenging to overcome this we are
developing a prototype and testing core
features ensuring consistent performance
across devices to overcome this we have
to focus on optimization and
crossplatform testing the educational
content must be accurate and effective
to to overcome this we consult with
expert to ensure content
accuracy the game should balance the
Education and Fun to keep user engaged
to overcome this ensure the game is both
educational and engaging as well the
game should be complete within time to
overcome this we divide and manage the
work workload evenly now now I invite
Bridges to tell the impact and benefits
of our project thank you RI moving to
impacts and benefits of our project that
it offers significant social economic
and environmental benefits by
encouraging collaborative and teamwork
we create a stronger sense of community
buildings the game is inclusively
designed to be accessible to diverse
audience ensuring broad participation
for cost effective education we provide
an affordable tool for learning about
ocean conservation for awareness and
advocacy the game is raes awareness but
sustainable practices and ocean
conservations it also promotes
eco-friendly behavior and responsible
stewardship the potential impact
includes increasing knowledge
Interactive Learning wide accessibility
and motivated participation through lbs
and rewards further moving to the
research and reference our solution is
built on solid research and utilization
the latest technology we D inspiration
from leading resources and platform such
as three.js and circuit a for seamless 3
graphics and realtime communication
nodejs and mongod TV for robust backend
and data management enter for creating
immersive 3D models animations
references and resources include cred
credible sources like UNESCO ocean
literacy Frameworks inqu and various
technical documentation and tutorials
available online in conclusion we can
say that ocean Quest combines
exploration story level missions and
interactive quizzes to immerse players
in Ocean conservation challenges through
game play users not only learn about the
ocean problems but also become the part
