This is what we’ve been waiting for.
I’ve only been through the first chapter, but I’m already certain learning cosmology will never be the same. It’s amazing something like this hasn’t been created already. And Tilda was a nice touch. It’s absolutely amazing! I think everyone with a smart phone should download this and learn about our universe. Go Google and CERN!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely Incredible
This is just about the coolest AR experience that I’ve seen on a handheld device. Incredible full screen detail and rich high fidelity audio give way to immersion into the incredible story of our universe. This and add to the fact that this is all for free is pretty incredible. Do yourself a favor if you have an AR capable device, download and enjoy!

Download this.
This is your birthright. The knowledge of everything. The story of our universe. Every of you have been exposed to these concepts, experiencing them in VR is still breathtaking. There’s a few bugs but this is an initial release.
