Solar System Scope VR vs Dav's Celestial Firmament

SolarVR is a new experimental virtual reality (VR) app from the creators of popular Solar System Scope application. SolarVR allows you to literally visit and explore several stunning destinations in our solar system. - Be blown off by the Solar System Virtual Reality Have you ever been curious about the place where the Apollo 11 landed? What about the Curiosity rover? Does your mind often play with the thoughts of how the walking on the Moon or on the Mars feels like? Well, now nothing stands in the way of your thirst to explore. - Not enough? There is also a possibility to visit ISS on its actual position. And furthermore you can scout the virtual night sky exactly as it looks like from your actual position. Pretty cool, right? - It works with and without VR glasses SolarVR operates best with the VR glasses, as it will provide the sensation of being directly in the space. If using VR glasses is not an option for you, this app will turn your phone into a direct window into the space and you can still enjoy similarly great views. - Note SolarVR is still in development, so you can look forward for new features and destinations to visit. - Please give us your feedback If you like our app, or you have some ideas what would you like us to improve, please give our App a rating and a review. We would appreciate it :)

Dav's Celestial Firmament is an iPhone augmented-reality app that threads the Earth's orbital path through the solar system with an enormous, perfectly regular lattice of markers, centered on the sun and fixed in space. It draws the ones above your horizon over the live camera view of the sky, exactly where they are. The lattice never moves. You do. Earth spins once a day and races along its orbit at about 30 km/s, so the you are constantly sweeping past the grid. Now, for the first time, you can watch that motion happen. A solar ephemeris accurate to about an arcminute computes your position relative to the Sun, the lattice origin, from your GPS coordinates and the current time. Three layouts show the same idea from different angles: Grid fills space with a regular lattice of cubes; Tube floats Earth inside a ring-lined bore following its orbit around the Sun; Ride threads that same tunnel through you as the center, rings arching overhead just tens of kilometers up. A narrated intro tour explains it all on first launch, and a picture-in-picture orrery keeps you oriented, showing Earth from afar, moving through the very nodes hanging in your sky.
