Has or I should say, had potential. This seems to be totally abandoned. I still liked it for what it is. Some things seem to be incorrect such as labeling Neptune and Uranus as gas giants instead of Ice giants. Controls and ability to find things arent super intuitive and could be worked on some. Traveling could be faster. I still like this but if your looking for a hardcore space simulation maybe look elsewhere as this seems to no longer be updating for years now. If you want to try this out buy it if it ever goes on sale.
Although there is a message that many updates are coming, as it is currently I cannot recommend this. I'm not sure I have ever had the displeasure of having an app with such horrid controller usage. Talk about user hostile interface and nothing working right. Why can't it just allow one to fly around in space. Unless this improves about 400% there is no sense at all in playing/running this experience.
I hate having to leave negative reviews, but really, why have a paid app when it is not even what I would consider an alpha release, more like pre-alpha.
Great experience, awesome sale. I like Spacetours VR a lot. I like this too. Gonna try some more...
LOVE IT! worth all the pennies. Would like to see my own city on the Earth but my trip to Mars was, noice.
Project seems abandoned, stars aren't even in the correct positions in the sky. No responses to questions in the discussions page. No way to adjust the time date and location anywhere in the app.
I don't understand the negative responses to this game. There's another game that's quite similar called "Stars", which is 15 dollars and rated higher, but this has much more content. I was trying them out as aides for my Astronomy class and this one seems to have everything I need: detailed information about planet and star locations, types, sizes, and distances, in addition to lots of other info. It even shows the boundaries of constellations on the celestial sphere. Everything is pretty intuitive, and there's even a throrough tutorial to walk you through the controls.
Very disappointing - if i knew how to get my money back I would
Frankly this product is a long way from fulling the requirements of a VR planetarium
The Solar system demo provided free in 'The Lab' demo is graphically superior and more fun
Do not waste your money on this in its current form
didn't even last 10 minutes with this in VR. everything adout it looks false, the stars and planets look cartoony and there is no sense of scale. just looking around drives you mad with constellation art popping up all over the place. if you've got any interest in astronomy dont bother with this, information is very weak to say the lest. titans of space is 100% beter for anyone with a vr headset.
I'm using the HTC Vive
I'm a bit of a space junkie and, as a result, I really wanted to like this experience.
Star Chart has some pretty cool features:
Being able to point at a celestial body with a lazar sight and have the planet/star immediately appear in the palm of your hand is definitely a plus, this also allows you to use the touch pad to garner some pretty interesting information about the these heavenly bodies,.
The planet touch pad dial allows you to quickly find the planet your interested in and one click launches you towards it. (at what I can only assume is close to the speed of light)
The Greek art overlaying the constellations is ever present and pretty fun.
Unfortunately I ended up returning it, I don't think there is enough unique features to make me want to load up Star Chart over Universe Sand Box 2 or to a lesser extent the Solar System simulation provided in TheLab.
Star Chart is definitely the most educational of the 3 games I've mentioned but there isn't enough here to make me want to show it off to someone who came over to check out my vive.
Using this with an HTC Vive.
I’m a bit torn on this one. First off, the principle is great, and many of the visuals are indeed stunning. That being said, it does not really feel quite finished yet:
- As someone already mentioned, the sky is often too bright: there is some dust in space, but nothing near what is being simulated here. Coupled with the excessive use of lens flare effects, this makes me feel like I’m in an early JJ Abrams film, not floating in space.
- The navigation system is clunky, with the pointer often catching objects behind the one you are actually trying to target. Needing to target every object twice as opposed to being given the option to fly, for instance, to Mars system or Mars directly is somewhat annoying. It should also be noted that not all bodies have textures, and even some that do will deteriorate into a wireframe once you get close.
[*]More worrying is the fact that the Vive’s VR cage is not always functioning correctly. I would like to know when I am about to walk into my bookshelf please, that’s why the function exists after all. Sporadically losing the cage forced me to repeatedly open the Vive menu to locate my lighthouses in order to know where I am in my room.
If those issues are fixed, I would wholeheartedly recommend the software, but in its current state I would recommend it only to those who have a certain level of tolerance for a somewhat unfinished product. Personally I am still going to – cautiously – enjoy it.
1st impressions - extremely cool! Love the travel to mechanism and being able to orbit whilst looking at key features. As the devs say, there will be more content to come so one to keep an eye on.
Note - This is not a game, but I wasn't expecting it to be. It is an educational tool. For me this is a fantastic use of VR. The sense of immersion is great. I'm looking forward to learning more about the constellations and planets.
I'll be spending some more time on it and will report back :)
I was expecting a VR Star Chart which is one of my wishes for a long time now. Unfortunately, at least in its current form, this is NOT what I was expcting for the ff reasons:
1) Constellation overlays in "Earth Sky" mode is distracting-- and there is NO WAY to view the sky "raw" without these overlays as you gaze at starfields
2) No representation of "ground"-- it shows the sky in 2 halves of the celestial sphere-- with NO OPTION of blocking out the "lower half" which you cannot see
3) The night sky is so damn BRIGHT!! No immersion of being in a field viewing a starry sky on a dark dark night
4) No option for setting location or of setting time or of actually showing the night sky move as time passes
I suggest the devs go see "Stellarium" for PC-- and convert some of that apps feature to VR in Star Chart. Maybe it will be worth for me to re-buy it by then. But, right now, this is a lost opportunity to be a serious tool for the "arm chair" VR astronomer.
Glad its finally out. very cool stuff. will be a great thing to show first time ver users.
