Solar System Simulator
The project's intention was to create a realistic solar system simulation as an informative education tool. Using Unity Engine to develop the simulation into an interactive 3D virtual reality simulation for the Meta Quest 3. The user is able to sit in the space environment and watch the planets orbit the sun, with accurate speed and corresponding sizes. When the user clicks on any planet it will provide an information panel, showing the planet's name and data.
Further development work needs to be done to improve the accuracy in which the planets can better recognize the clicks. As well as providing further movement for the user so one can move throughout the environment using the joy sticks so the user does not just remain in one position. As well as making the POV from the interior of a spaceship so it really feels immersive and one is exploring space as a completely virtual experience.
