Pocket Universe Review (VR HW -6)

To start off, I found pocket universe as a very interesting and amazing application as it helps in understanding what exactly we are looking at. Every time I use it makes me feel like I'm at the center of the universe and all I can see is that I am surrounded by stars and other interesting stuff in space like satellites etc.The idea that if this application is made to work with AR glasses is so cool because if we put on the glasses it feels like we are watching a live science fiction movie in space.

Image of Saturn, I captured it from my room

Image of Moon, it is black because I captured it on New moon day.

It is very useful in many ways as just by looking at it we could say what it is. We can feel that we are having our own personal assistant with us always telling us what is around us and what are we actually witnessing.This application solely has many uses and functions, but if this is combined with other interesting data sets it can be turned into an amazing learning or fun space to work with. I thought the following data will make the application more useful and interesting to use.

1)Eclipse - This application can be included with graphics such that when eclipse is occurring and if we point out our phone to sun or moon then we can see the animated view of what exactly is happening near sun or moon and we can highlight the views from different angles and different zooming scales.

2)Google maps - This can be included with google maps to get more realistic experience.If we are able to see that we have at a position on earth and what exactly is the view at that point will be like a virtual world replicating our own world.

3)Bitmoji - If we could have an animated bitmoji playing with stars and explaining about them then it would look really cool.

4)Project 2 - We can include our project 2 into this application to show each planetary system and all the features in our project. As this application help us to see stars from our point of view and this project helps us to view each star from other different stars.

5)Games - If we could create such a game which uses the stars which are currently visible to us then such games will help us learn in a better way about the stars.

6)Historic Data of Stars - This application can include how a star or the material we are pointing to is formed and if it shows the formation and changes which occurred with it in a graphical way then it helps in feeding the user with more interesting data.

I tried using Sky view as well and found Saturn like the following
