LUNVR
Global Nominee
LUNVR received a Global Nomination.
Develop an interactive app for children that uses smart phone and tablet sensory to locate the Moon (any time of the day, even below horizon), which unlocks current lunar data (phase, distance, etc), and then presents the user options for reading a "Moon" related story, view space agency photos and videos, and/or fun facts about the Moon. The goal of this challenge is edutainment and raising awareness about lunar missions around the world.
Web and Android VR App. Find the current position of the moon and unlock stories and content!
Search for the moon in virtual reality from space! Find out the position relative from whenever you are on earth. Watch the current moon phase and learn facts about moon.
We've developed an interactive web and android app for children that lets the user look for the moon in space. The position of the moon is relative to the user's position on earth so you can search for the moon in VR and take off the glasses and see the actual moon in the same place if the sky is clear at night. If you find the moon you'll see it's current phase and will listen a moon related story with interesting facts about the moon along with pictures.
Our app works on any smartphone VR viewer. We also have a web demo with partial functionality.
