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.
Space Lander X

- Vertical take-off and landing simulation
- Inertial control handling
- Limited fuel mechanics

This game has been inspired by the new space age that we live in, developed by Elon Musk, owner of the Spacex company and rockets: Starhopper, Superheavy, Starship. This game is based on the flight simulation of vertical take-off and landing rockets. In the game you will have to take off and land on the platforms with the handling of inertial controls, just like in real life. Each landing has a limited amount of fuel.
