                                 This educational VR game provides knowledge about space and the solar system in particular.
                                 It allows you to vividly understand the magnitudes that surround us in space. Usually when
               What you learn:   we use the dimensions of celestial bodies, for example their diameter, it is not so intuitive for
                                 us to understand how big the differences between them really are. This VR app gives you a
                                 deeper understanding of the size of planets or stars.

                                 The player explores space using a variety of options. Some of these are, for example, Tour
                                 Guide (110 minutes of travel (you can upload your own presentation!), comparing objects (for
               How you learn:
                                 example how big the moon is compared to Mercury), or the real distance view (you can see
                                 how object looks from distance. For example how Sun looks from perspective of Mars).
