ExpPace AR

I've always wanted to blend my love for astronomy with technology in some way and surely this is the main inspiration behind this work

This ExPace AR let's you explore our solar system up close with different angles. It also contains few asteroids.

I built it using spark AR studio on windows. I've created 3d models of planets, sun, rings and asteroids using Blender and I've also added few bits of Javascript to control their rotations.

I'd say the main challenge for me was to control their rotations. I took me a while to get it done.

I finally made it to work with each planet having their specific rotations, that's a huge accomplishment for me. Yay!

It was the first time I used Spark AR studio plus I'm also not very good at blender so yeah, I learned how you can make amazing stuffs with spark AR. Apart from learning, I also got to know some awesome people from the community and got to learn a lot from them.

I started this work with a thought to allow user to go to different planets and explore then even up closer. Maybe options to go to different solar systems. But I think these are quite far away for me now. My next work would be to allow users to explore individual planets.
