Features

  • Seamless Physics Transition:
    Users can effortlessly switch between physics-based and on-rails mode, that enables fast forwarding at any timescale.
  • Planet-Based Orientation:
    The planet-based mode allows the world to be oriented around the player, supporting any rotational axis and angular speed. 
  • Dynamic Celestial Interaction:
    Users can dynamically enter and exit the spheres of influence of celestial bodies. Even orbits spanning multiple spheres of influences can predicted and visualized.
  • Vast Distances:
    To maintain smooth visuals, the position is snapped based on the player's location, minimizing jitter and ensuring a seamless exploration of the expansive virtual space.
  • Setup and customizations of solar system:
    Users can effortlessly create their solar system by selecting and customizing planets and moons according to their preferences. This allows users to enjoy a personalized solar system experience in just a few minutes.
