Space might be the final frontier, but NASA is making a detour into augmented reality first.
The Spacecraft AR app, developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in collaboration with Google, debuted exclusively for Android this week (an iOS version is also in the works).
Using Google’s ARCore toolkit, Spacecraft AR allows users to place and manipulate 3D models of NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover, Juno, Cassini, Voyager, and the massive Deep Space Network dish, all in AR. Future planned updates will bring more spacecraft models to the app.
