★ ★ ★ Star Chart VR Overview

       

What is Star Chart VR? Star Chart VR is a virtual reality app that allows users to explore the solar system and night sky in a real-time simulation. It is the VR version of the popular augmented reality astronomy app, Star Chart. Users can explore the solar system from the Sun to Pluto, gaze at the rings of Saturn, and understand the constellations of the night sky. The app is designed to provide an immersive experience for both young and old users.



Software Features and Description

1. The ultimate virtual reality experience: A VR Planetarium! Star Chart VR lets you explore the solar system and night sky in a beautiful and accurate real-time simulation.

2. *** Star Chart VR is the virtual reality version of the hugely successful augmented reality astronomy & star gazing app - Star Chart - downloaded by over 20 million people world-wide.

3. - Written from the ground up for Virtual Reality, Star Chart VR is in many ways a superior product to the original Star Chart, but please do not expect full feature parity.

4. We will continue to develop and enhance Star Chart VR over time, so at some point Star Chart VR may reach parity (where applicable), but there are no promises.

5. - Star Chart VR requires a Cardboard viewer to use (button / trigger enabled).

6. Star Chart for VR was developed on an iPhone 6 and runs beautifully on this and higher end devices.

7. Delight in exploring the solar system, from the Sun to the smallest moons of Saturn and out to the coldest, darkest, farthest reaches of Pluto.

8. What better way to learn about the night sky and astronomy than to immerse yourself as a virtual astronaut travelling through space.

9. Most high end modern phones will provide you with smooth frame-rate (a result of processing speed) and seamless head tracking (a result of sensor update speed and accuracy).

10. Understand how the constellations of our night sky are made up of stars distant to each other in both space and time.

11. Embrace the impossible distances of our solar system and the inordinate scale of our universe.

  • Breathtaking!

    By Jim O.37031 (Pcmac user)

    First let me get the minor nuisances out of the way: The font size and resolution make it difficult to read some of the details. Also, it appears that the moon is not in the correct constellation when using the telescope mode from earth, and I would prefer the Milky Way to have more contrast. This app still gets five stars because of the beautiful design and effects. It is awesome flying between planets and moons. For a breathtaking view, go to a close-up of Saturn and then select one of the moons below the ring system. As you start to fly towards that moon rotate your view back to Saturn and watch as you pass through the ring system and perhaps the shadow of the planet on the rings! Also love the surface features that can be switched on or off. It would be nice if you could back off from the sun just a bit to witness some of the prominences seen only as you approach or leave it. Perhaps updates might include images of some of the better known deep sky objects? Very impressive program and it really shows off what VR can do. Anxiously eager for updates!
  • A MUST have for VR enthusiasts

    By Hawkunamattata (Pcmac user)

    I just got into the VR game and I must say this app is the pinnacle of VR apps that I have experienced. Sure, it is not nearly as full featured as some other astronomy apps that I have including it's normal app equivalent. However, with the correct kind of monetary support this can be something even more amazing. Please do yourself a favor and purchase this. No amount of explanation can fully describe the immersive experience it offers. I am affiliated with the app Chart in any way. Just a chill dude from CA that wanted to try something new.
  • Garbage

    By Tcrookshanks (Pcmac user)

    Don’t know why I bought this. It’s an old app with 1 review, but it’s the only app that allows you to stargaze with VR googles. Problem is, it does not use your location. Every time I’ve started the app, the Sun has been in a new location, not where it actually is relative to where I am. The screenshots make it look way cooler. I will be trying to get my money back.
  • Needs empathy for the guy wearing the headset

    By Bearstorm233 (Pcmac user)

    A tap interface on an iOS VR app? A stare-based UI would make this so much more immersive. Imagine being able to fly around from planet to planet by just staring at a button where the dumb "tap here" button is for long enough? Graphics are really nice.
