Developers

The Development Team encompasses the AR, AI, and Web subteams to create a cohesive developer experience across all features and applications. There are around 40 members across the teams, with a strong emphasis this year on collaboration within the team, while also expanding the scope of development within NASA expectations.

AR Team

The AR Team focuses on developing the user interface within Unity using MRTK3. They are responsible for building front-end AR features with Unity-specific functionalities such as spatial interactions, gesture controls and input logic tailored for augmented reality environments.

Web Team

The Web Team is responsible for building and maintaining the core technical infrastructure within CLAWS. This includes connecting our AR application with NASA’s telemetry server, our partner university’s Pressurized Rover, and our planned and established internal systems that enable data sharing across the team.

AI Team

The AI Team ideates, develops, and integrates AI features that interface with the AR application. Team members explore and implement key AI concepts such as computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning to create interactive and adaptive experiences. The team focuses on embedding these technologies directly into the AR workflows to enhance the overall user experience.
