Any good VR astronomy programs?
I suspect the lowish resolution and narrow FOV of even the latest desktop VR systems would make a fairly mediocre experience, but once VR has achieved good resolution I imagine astronomy apps would be amazing.
Are there any programs now, for the Oculus Rift especially, for virtual stargazing?
Imagine being able to see space from any point on Earth with absolute dark skies, or even from orbit with stars in all directions. Orbiting the Earth, or planets, zooming through the solar system or visiting the Orion nebula.
There are non-VR applications which do that kind of thing, but immersive VR experience would be something else.
Is the answer... wait 10 years for really high definition goggles?
