Project Description

Project Description

Stars in Silence is a platform for people living in urbanized cities to see stars with bare eyes. It provides the best stargazing locations nearby. After achieving certain user goals, Stars in Silence will build a multi-purpose stargazing tower headquartered in NYC.


The image showcases a grid of nine smartphone screens displaying various “Stars in Silence” themed interfaces against a blue sky background. The screens showcase different visual designs, including cloud and sun imagery, minimalist interfaces with text and icons, and abstract patterns. The “Stars in Silence” logo is prominently displayed in the bottom left corner, with the tagline “An Urban Stargazing Platform. starsinsilence.org/” below it.



Four smartphones are displayed side by side, each showing a dark night scene with a cityscape and a central white circle with a plus sign. The text “On your right” appears below each circle. Below the rightmost phone, the text “Fantastic job!” is visible.



A smartphone displays a graphic titled “CURRENT STATUS:” showing a tall tower structure against a night sky with a moon and clouds. The phone’s screen also shows “USD” and “TASKS” at the bottom. Below the phone, a panoramic aerial view of a city is visible, with the title “STARS IN SILENCE: ORG/TOWER” at the top.



A collage of images displays various VR experiences. The top left shows “STARS IN SILENCE” at 5688m. The top right shows a white VR headset labeled “STARS IN SILENCE”. Below are three smaller images: “STARS IN SILENCE” at 324m, “STARS IN SILENCE” at 5691m, and a hand holding a phone displaying a cityscape.



A person with dark hair styled in a side-swept manner wears a white long-sleeved shirt against a solid yellow background. The individual is positioned in profile, facing left, with their gaze directed forward. They are wearing small, silver hoop earrings. The shirt has a collar and appears to be made of a smooth, light-colored fabric. No other objects or text are visible in the image.
