The Space Shuttle has been revived through Augmented Reality(AR) since its last flight in 2011. AR is a technology that displays virtual objects in the real world. You are the launch director of the Space Shuttle. Your mission is to launch the Space Shuttle and dock with the International Space Station safely. The Space Shuttle will be launched with smoke and fire from the launch pad. The shuttle will separate booster engines and an external fuel tank. It will dock with the Space Station above the Earth. The sound and the countdown make AR Space Shuttle more realistic. You can watch the shuttle's motions from various angles. Launch a 3D virtual Space Shuttle in your backyard or any other place. This app is a simple experiment in AR. The app is not only for Space Shuttle fans but also for anyone interested in AR. Try launching the 3D virtual Space Shuttle now.

Reality Construction Kit lets you put augmented reality objects in your real space, and play. Toss balls, boxes and bubbles into your space - they bounce, flow, stack, rock and roll as if they're real. Tack tracks and planks into your walls, stairs and furniture and roll balls down your new course. Stack boxes, fill crates and knock them over. Toss Darts and they stick the landing. Shoot Baskets and score. Create a wild contraption made of all of these and see it work! Throughout, virtual objects realistically collide, slide, bounce, roll across surfaces, and disappear behind real ones. With uncanny collisions, reflections, shadows, and directional 3D sounds, it's the most insanely realistic augmented reality yet. The magic is enabled by a LiDAR sensor on your state-of-the-art device. As you look around, it sees the shapes in your real environment, so virtual objects can seamlessly inhabit it. "A brilliant use of the LiDAR camera on iPhone/iPad Pros. Perfectly realistic physics. Wow. Just wow." - Charlie Fink, Forbes Simple buttons let you delete recent items and try again, until your scene, course or contraption is just how you want it. And you can get more kinds of items from the Reality Store. Reality Construction Kit brings a new generation of astonishing realistic AR you can create yourself.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space Shuttle AR at none against Reality Construction Kit's 10. Space Shuttle AR also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 44%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Reality Construction Kit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
