Creating your solar system. Place stars, planets, comets, and asteroids in your solar system to create your model.
Educational opportunities abound. You'll have fun and learn at the same time, with informational text panels about each star, planet, and other celestial body.
What is it about?
With Cosmos Creator AR, you have the power of creation in your hands. The app features a lengthy tutorial and intricate settings. Familiarize yourself with both of these before you get started.
Why we love it
What's really cool about Cosmos Creator AR is the amount you can learn. Each star type, planet, asteroid, and comet has an informative text to go along with it. Getting to that text can be tricky with a solar system in motion, so you might want to turn physics off for those learning sessions. That let's you build a static solar system, one that doesn't move. Either way, just tap on the planet, star, or other object. You'll see movement handles that allow you to change the objects position and orbital speed, but in the top right corner there's an "i." Tap the "i" symbol, and you'll get plenty of information about that particular object. Cosmos Creator AR isn't just fun, it's educational, too.
