Spacecraft 3D
Description
NASA’s Spacecraft 3D is an augmented reality (AR) application that lets you learn about and interact with a variety of spacecraft that are used to explore our solar system, study Earth, and observe the universe. Using a printed AR Target and the camera on your mobile device, you can get up close with these robotic explorers, see how they move, and learn about the engineering feats used to expand our knowledge and understanding of space. Spacecraft 3D will be updated over time to include more of the amazing spacecraft that act as our robotic eyes on the earth, the solar system and beyond!
Please look forward to interacting with even more iconic NASA missions in future updates!
This app requires a camera.

Spacecraft 3D allows the user to learn about the interactions a variety of spacecraft’s have with our soar systems and universe. Using the camera on your mobile device, a user scans printed augmented reality targets and can studies and analyses different spacecraft. The user can explore the robots and see how they work, how the move, and dissect the engineering. Learners can explore different sites like Mars, Earth, launch pads, and other markers across the solar system. The level of detail on the robots, spacecraft and different locations in the solar system is great for a new app. The app can be updated to add additional spacecraft and location. If I could respectfully make a suggestion, I would include a simulation of the spacecraft landing on different environments around the universe. If the user could participate in the landing, or simple watch as the spacecraft lands, the user would get a holistic experience from the takeoff, landing, and dissection of the area and spacecraft. In addition, I would add detailed descriptions of each part of the spacecraft, or geographical information about different areas in the solar system
