Bringing art to life with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration 🚀🎨🌌

For their senior capstone project, a team of four Seattle University computer science students worked with the NASA Psyche mission to create an interactive virtual reality game to showcase hundreds of art pieces created through the Psyche Inspired program.

“I didn't come into this with a background in game development, so the learning curve was steep, but we eventually found our rhythm. The real key was just staying on the same page as a team and keeping a constant dialogue with our sponsor,” says Jakob Balkovec, ’26. “Watching people actually play through it is the best part of the process.”

Once completed, the virtual reality game will be part of NASA Psyche public events held across the country. Mission To Psyche
