Description: The Messier object was created by the 18th-century French astronomer Charles. 110 celestial bodies listed in the “List of Nebulae and Star Clusters” compiled by Messier. Messier himself is a comet searcher. He assembled this catalogue of celestial bodies to record the celestial bodies in the sky that look like comets instead of comets so that he will not be confused by these celestial bodies when looking for real comets. The VR experience aims to show the charm of Messier’s celestial bodies and the mystery of the universe, combining astronomical knowledge to create a reasonable and interesting experience. Use the immersion of virtual reality and appropriate interaction to add a sense of immersion to the experience, allowing visitors to be in the universe and see the magnificent scenery of the Messier Nebula and star cluster.
Review: ‘VR探索梅西爾’ which translates as “VR explore Messier” is a free space style app in which you get to see a variety of celestial bodies lucky with no nausea at all and no need for years of space travel. While it is all in Chinese I managed to get through the app without too much hassle and enjoy the sights on offer. While it’s not terrible I suppose this apps biggest issue is that there are far better apps out there that offer so much more. At least you can try it out without risk to the wallet, but just know there are better free space apps much more worthy of your time.
