The “Astronaut Smartwatch App” will first be used by the robotic crew member “Robonaut 2” currently helping the astronauts on the orbiting laboratory, Freelancer.com said in a statement. Freelancers can take cues from “Samsung Gear 2” as a hardware reference for the design. The deliverables are wireframes highlighting the unique design’s navigation, interaction, layout, look, feel and other important elements of the design. The smartwatch app design is part of the “NASA Challenge: Astronaut Smartwatch App Interface Design” contest.
