About Virtual telescope

Have you ever had so bad day that you just wanted to go away from the humanity and relax? Now you can go to the Moon. Or to the Mars. That isn't far enough? No problem, go to another star system. Check yourself why TRAPPIST-1 planets don't have any forms of life.

Another feature of the Virtual Telescope is to give you the actual star sky and solar system state which depend on your current geolocation and time. You can change zoom or lens size and get information about a selected object or just watch events like solar and lunar eclipses.

Arghh, Apps like this dont really do astronomy any favours. I wish with apps like this they would atleast place you on a part of the planet that is actually mapped rather than just a whimsical backdrop. Atleast attempt accuracy with what we know. Even Pluto has been photographed with enough detail to be able to achieve this. Generating a few mountain ranges and changing the colours is just not accurate and is actually damaging for the uneducated that think that it is. The detail Mars could have had would have been fascinating. Yeah its only 5 bucks but the quality is just not there for this type of app.

Cant recommend this experience as of Nov 2018 until some showstoppers are fixed: -the virtual telescope model needs to actually "work" - that is, looking in the eye peice should do *something* -the UI is woefully bad guys.. please get some help with this. At minimum these need fixing: -Dont use the vive trackpad as a mouse. In VR it's more intuitive to press the buttons in 3d space with the tip of the controller, or at a lazy minimum point at the buttons using the controller as a laser pointer. -Keyboard should be QWERTY, not alphabetical. -get rid of the tutorial. Needing a tutorial signals that the app is not intuitive. Use things like tooltips to explain the UI elements, and labels on the vive controllers to describe what the buttons will do. I'll say it again. Get rid of the tutorial. Bin it and find a better way. It doesnt help that the tutorial currently is mandatory. Good luck guys.

A very impressive Space Simulation that I can highly recommend for the price. A little caveat remains, the loading times are a bit too long as well as the software keyboard needs an improvement. Check out the following video where I also talk about NEW SPACE, the new way of commercial space which will play a huge role in the future. Video Podcast and short review in one! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUEs1A90V90

do you want to stand on ragged procedurally generated planets with random colors? do you want to look at basic astronomical statistics? do you want to waste money? then this is the game for you!!!
