Virtual Planetary Exploration
Martian Rover VR
Summary
Explore Mars in VR without any expensive equipment
How We Addressed This Challenge
We have developed an VR game where you can drive a vehicle from the first person. So you can explore the surfaces of planets and explore them with an immersive effect. We hope this will attract more young minds to space exploration.
How We Developed This Project
We were inspired by the movie Martian, and we wanted everyone to feel like a space explorer.
To create this project, we used the Unity 3D, and a VR plugin.
To play you only need a cardboard and two devices to play, one for the the cardboard and the other for the controls. You can use as control any device: a tablet, a phone, and even an mp3 player!
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We used a landscape data and some 3d models from NASA official site for creating a 3d scene in our game.
