AR Reality Game is aimed at Science and Technology courses in the secondary school curriculum with the game developed with AR Technology. By combining the solar system with the environment you are in, it increases the level of perception and at the same time makes it pleasant to acquire information through the questions of Science and Technology that are played. You are in the center of the Sun at the opening of the game. When you go forward or backward, you will notice that the entire solar system has taken over. If you click on an celestial body, information about the planets will appear on your screen. The main purpose of the game is to save the solar system from aliens. You will notice space ships arriving at certain intervals to shoot the sun through the depths of space. The sun resistance is decreasing when an space ship fire at. you have to destroy all space ships without falling into the solar resistance zero. When you click on space ships, you are asked about science and technology questions and you are expected to know the correct answer. If you know the right answer, the space ship is blowing up. This educational game work has no precedent in the field of Educational games. With this game developed using ARKIT module, children can learn while having a good time playing games.

This solar system simulator reflects actual planetary position information. When the app is launched, the sun is positioned 20 cm in front of the device, based on the device's position. Around it, the eight main planets of the solar system and the celestial body to be observed orbit. The orbits are displayed as if they were trajectories. The position of each planet is calculated based on actual values. # Features - x] Realistic solar system with ARKit - x] Orbits of the 8 planets are displayed. - x] Planets are realistic textures imported from USDZ files. - x] Planet positions are calculated based on real values (using Horizons API) - x] The object to be observed can be changed. - x] Display of the orbit of the object of interest - x] Calculate the position of the target object based on actual values (using the Horizons API). - x] Adjustable speed (minus value for reverse rotation) - x] Zoom function (zoom in/zoom out) - x] Toggle the display of the text information and the coordinate axis (New!) ## How to use 1. when you launch the application, you will be asked for "permission to use camera" at the first startup. If you allow it, an ARKit session will start. 2. 2. a coordinate axis will be placed 20 cm in front of you, based on the device's position. 3. Tap the "Load Planet" button to load the planet model. Just wait a moment. 4. The 8 main planets of the solar system and the object to be observed will orbit around it. 5. Move the device to observe the solar system from various angles. 6. Tap the buttons at the bottom of the screen to adjust the speed and zoom. 7. You can change the object to be observed from the menu in the upper right corner of the screen. 1. Halley's Comet 2. Hayabusa2 & Ryugyu 3. Voyager 1 & 2 4. New Horizons & Pluto 5. Cassini (New!) 6. OSIRIS-REx & Bennu 7. Comparison of Circle and Ellipse 8. Geocentric theory (New!) 8. Toggle the display of the text information and the coordinate axis from the menu in the upper right corner of the screen. (New!)
