Star Chart AR

View the Earth & Solar System in Augmented Reality with Star Chart AR

Star Chart AR lets you explore the Earth in Augmented Reality through the window of your phone's screen. All in real time!

*** ARCore compatible device required to experience AR Modes ***

Included in Star Chart AR are:

- AR Earth - the Earth beautifully rendered in realtime for AR viewing

- AR Orrery - the solar system including the sun, planets, major moons, dwarf planets, asteroid & kuiper belts, and major asteroids (available as an in-app upgrade)

Star Chart AR is best experienced with ample room and good lighting. We like to view it outdoors when scaled to maximum size or on a large clear table when scaled down.

Move your device in a circular motion while looking at the surface you would like the device to detect. An overlay will appear on the detected surface and fade out after a few seconds. Tap to place the AR object on a detected surface.

Controls are:

- Tap to place the AR object

- Pinch to scale the AR object

- Two finger tap to go back
