VR Powers Of Ten！！. 今から50年前、私が小学生の時見た映画「Powers Of Ten」。この映画にショックを受けてから宇宙大好き＆科学大好き少年になった訳だが、あの時の感動をもう一度体験させてくれるアプリが登場した。恐らく版権の問題で「Powers Of Ten」のタイトルを冠することができないのであろうが、分かっている人はすぐ気づくはずである。 地球上の人間から出発して太陽系を抜け天の川銀河を俯瞰し銀河団から超銀河団そして大規模構造までを網羅しているあたりは元祖「Powers Of Ten」よりも進歩している。そこから逆回転して人間の細胞組織ーニューロンからDNAそして原子を通り抜け素粒子まで到達する。 本当に素晴らしい体験ができるアプリである。 最終的には現宇宙の果てとプランク長の世界も視覚化しているがここは流石に空想の域でおまけとして楽しんでもらいたい。 このようなアプリを心待ちにしていた私は当然★5つを進呈したい。同系の「OverViews」と併せ天文ファン＆科学ファンにお薦めする。 The movie "Powers Of Ten" that I saw 50 years ago when I was in elementary school. After being shocked by this movie, he became a boy who loves space and science, but an app that lets you experience the excitement of that time again has appeared. Perhaps due to copyright issues, you won't be able to get the "Powers Of Ten" title, but anyone who knows will notice it right away.Starting from human beings on the earth, passing through the solar system and overlooking the Milky Way galaxy, covering everything from clusters of galaxies to superclusters and large-scale structures, it is more advanced than the original "Powers Of Ten". From there, it rotates in reverse, passing from human cell tissues-neurons through DNA and atoms to elementary particles.It's a really great app.Eventually, the end of the present universe and the world of Planck are also visualized, but we want you to enjoy this as a bonus in a fantasy area.I'm looking forward to such an app, and of course I want to give you five. Recommended for astronomy and science fans, along with the similar “OverViews”.
Amazing , Thank you ! Amazing visualization showing the known extents of scale in the physical universe. Some day would like to see visualizations of multi-verse and dark energy theories.
Can you give anything but 5 stars?. Ok 11!!! This is the eye candy of metadata that really makes VR so compelling. While we have all seen 'Cosmic zooms' over on a screen from a couch or movie theatre chair, who knew we would be ensconsed in the first-person perspective of Olaf Stapledon's great StarMaker novel --- loving the manual mode of rotating & zooming, stopping by star clusters, suns and galaxies innumerable out, out out - in in in so deep and so far, the perfect active meditation for a really joyful self discovery of just how easy it is to realize all of what you can be aware of in the pure relativity of consciousness. The shorter review of this application would simply read: Thank you.
From the infitely tiny 6-dimensional matrix of string theory folds to the ultimately vast outer radiation rim of the known universe, this VR experience allows you to take in the broadest perspective of scientific magnitudes currently known or proposed. Your human point of reference for this journey is an astronaut floating near the International Space Station. Your hand controllers move you into the smallest realms of his brain cells and out to the edge of the observable universe. Every step along the way is beautifully rendered and interactive, allowing you to pull objects in and view them as pop-up text explains what you are viewing. The controls take a little getting used to, and some items may escape your attention on initial viewings but, with repeated use, you will continue to be amazed at the mind-boggling truths of our shared human understanding, proven, tested and exposed by decades of scientific observations and analysis.
Incredible interactive ride! Beautiful, interactive, engaging and dare I say - quite humbling. As the son of a professional astronomer, I have always held the vastness of the universe from the smallest scale out to the edge of the cosmos in utter awe. This VR journey really accentuated that feeling.
I have only one very minor suggestion - improve the looks of the ISS and the astronaut whose brain we borrow for the inner space ride. After witnessing the beauty and detail of the rest of the fantastic voyage, I found the lack of detail on these to actually be a distraction. I was mildly surprised to see the apparent lack of attention given these two integral aspects of the journey.
One more thing - if the devs do decide to add narration, I hope there is an option for taking the ride without it.
Anyway, notwithstanding the very minor caveat of graphic detail on the space station and astronaut, I still give this a solid 5 stars. Well worth the view.
Amazing experience and very well done! I have been through a lot of these educational experiences and this one is really good! I love the fact that you can grab and look at things. This is awesome! I am going to be going through this again and will be showing others. Can't wait for additional enhancements, but not sure a voice over would be that welcome. You kind of want to just be in awe.
