I like this and would give 10 stars if the developer could add artificial intelligence, even for a separate fee. I don't speak languages well enough to understand the information about planets, etc. With artificial intelligence, I could perhaps find planets, stars, etc. and it would tell me everything in my own language. The Earth VR app is a prime example. You can travel anywhere with artificial intelligence and find information in your own language. I hope the developers will add the same feature to this one too. You can't even copy those texts. I have all the Stellarium software on my PC and my mobile phone. I also control the telescope with the mobile app.
The graphics are excellent. The correct phases of moon and planets are shown. You can’t zoom sun which is very good. The link to Wikipedia is provided for the curious people.
You can change time. You can set grid structure for ecliptic, coordinate, ra and dec. extremely important for learning astronomy.
So much to explore.
Instructions on how to find stars from other simpler objects. If you follow Orion’s Belt …
Excellent.
Magnification is sufficient to see clusters and nebulae.
This program is awesome.
I do wish Marine verse would use their program for their night sailing program. That would be awesome. Combine celestial navigation with sailing.
Quest has so much more to expand on.
I have found the best VR (Meta Quest 3)planetarium software! I really feel like i am in the middle of the nature under a dark sky. I am using from long time the PC version, but now, this VR version is amazing. I hope in the future, maybe we wil can join this great app with friends. Thanks!
The zoomed view could use some stabilization but this was a really cool experience! Thank you, the tours were really cool too! This will be super useful for planning star gazing outings too!
The zoomed in view is super shaky, bordering on unusable. Needs stabilisation. And the zoomed in graphics detail are meh. Or perhaps I can't see them properly because of the jittery jumpy shaky view.
I'm a big fan of Stellarium and use it on my desktops and iPad. Was expecting a better experience of the VR version than this.
