Read full description

The set includes 3D models of the main celestial bodies in the solar system as well as a complete representation of each planet's orbit around the sun. The limited edition collection also includes a 3D model and extra information on the Chelyabinsk meteorite. Each model includes extra information, trivia and videos about each body. The flipbooks features 6 different sequences each, that can be triggered by changing the position of your thumb. HOW TO USE THE APP: Open the app and point the camera at the cover of each flipbook slipcase in order to display the models in 3D. By pointing the camera at the main image of the packaging for the entire collection, you’ll be able to discover a full model of the Solar System. The models can be rotated and scaled using your fingers on the screen. By clicking the Earth Scale button in the upper right-hand corner, you can make the Earth appear next to each planet and the Sun to compare its scale. In the main menu, you’ll find extra information, trivia and videos of each body. IMPORTANT: We highly recommend not making sudden movements with the phone or the slipcases. If for any reason you can not activate any of the models on their respective slipcases, slowly move your smartphone and make small pauses until you get to visualize the model. This is a first official version and it is possible that due to the amount of different devices that exist in the market, there are still some bugs that we will improve in future updates. For any questions or feedback on its use, write to support@flipboku.com
