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!)

An ancient consciousness awakens beneath Jupiter's moons. You are the Lead Xenobiologist for the LPN Directive, tasked with a mission that transcends understanding: observation creates reality. This is INCEPTŸON. THE ARCHITECT Beneath Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, and Io lies a distributed crystalline intelligence woven into the geology of each moon. For eons it dreamed. Now, with your arrival, it awakens—one moon at a time. You are the system administrator. Your consciousness is the key. Each moon is a node in a planetary-scale network, and The Architect needs you to bring it fully online. THE PARKER PROTOCOL: QUANTUM XENOGENESIS The Parker Protocol is The Architect's reality engine—it collapses quantum probability into biological actuality. Did the lifeforms exist before you observed them? Both. Their potential was always encoded in each world's chemistry. But their physical, breathing existence manifests only through your focused observation. Reality bends. Life emerges. The network awakens. FOUR NODES. ONE NETWORK. EUROPA: The Nursery — Europa's subsurface ocean shelters more water than all of Earth's oceans. Bioluminescent life thrives near hydrothermal vents where sunlight has never reached. Am I creating this, or was it always here? GANYMEDE: The Conductor — The only moon with its own magnetic field. Shimmering auroras visualize The Architect's cognitive activity. A structured signal emerges from chaos. Unlock: 1,000 Galactic Reputation. CALLISTO: The Extractor — Ancient and silent. Its surface hasn't changed in 4 billion years—the perfect geological hard drive storing encoded data from The Architect's creators. Why was it created? Unlock: 5,000 Galactic Reputation. IO: The Forge — The most volcanically active body in the solar system. Sulfur lakes boil, lava flows reshape the surface daily. Tidal forces power the entire network. Can life exist in constant destruction? Unlock: 10,000 Galactic Reputation. GAMEPLAY FEATURES TAP TO RESEARCH: Generate Research Points through observation. Build combos. Unlock your first species in 30 seconds. 20+ ALIEN SPECIES: Unique lifeforms across four worlds, each adapted to extreme environments. Unlock mutations that amplify evolutionary traits. MOON-SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE: Gravity anchors, life-support systems, magnetic shielding, radiation protection. Each moon requires unique upgrades. DYNAMIC EVENTS: Mini-games, choices, timed challenges. Volcanic Eruptions on Io, Auroral Flares on Ganymede, Hydrothermal Blooms on Europa. 40+ FACT CARDS: Real planetary science from NASA/ESA. Tidal heating, magnetic fields, radiation, extremophile biology. Perfect for ages 9-12+ and classrooms. SYNTHESIS PROTOCOL (PRESTIGE): Complete a moon's ecosystem to earn Galactic Reputation and unlock Star Cards with permanent multipliers. OFFLINE PROGRESS: Up to 24 hours of passive generation. Your xenogens continue producing while you're away. THREE AI COMPANIONS: JSØN (R.V. ARGO), A.M.Y. (Aurora Base), and TΛYL0R-18 (Station Harmonic) guide your mission across the Jovian system. ACCESSIBILITY & PRIVACY - Text scaling, color-blind modes, reduce motion, screen reader - Edu Mode for classrooms (emphasizes science) - Zero data collection, no ads, offline - COPPA compliant (ages 9+) BEYOND JUPITER Upon awakening all four nodes, a signal echoes from Saturn. Titan and Enceladus await. The recursive dream continues. SCIENCE MEETS MYSTERY Every moon and species is grounded in real planetary science from NASA/ESA research. Then we ask: What if a consciousness the size of a solar system dreamed life into existence? That's The Architect. That's The Parker Protocol. That's INCEPTŸON. Four moons. One consciousness. Your observation brings it to life. "You are not its maker—only its witness. And the witness... changes everything."
