Solar Walk – 3D Solar System model by Vito Technology Inc.

Having grown up watching science fiction, I’ve always wished I could somehow travel through space and time. Although I love the way special effects can transport you from one world to another, I’ve always secretly wanted to take over the controls, to travel to locations of my choosing. Now we can all do that, thanks to the Solar Walk app by Vito Technology Inc.

The Solar Walk app allows you to explore the solar system in stunning 3D. In fact, this Vito Technology creation is the AppStore’s first product to features real 3D TV compatibility. Hence, this feature is only compatible with 3D enabled televisions, and as a result, cyan-red 3D glasses are required.

With the Solar Walk app, the solar system is yours to explore. Navigate your way through space and time, to survey planets, moons and other points of interest in our heliocentric system. The 3D Solar System app depicts heavenly bodies with mind-blowing detail, including atmospheric disturbances traveling across planetary surfaces. Once more, you’ll learn about various points of interest on each and every planet in the solar system, including its inner structure, trajectory, and history of exploration.

I’ll be the first to admit that looking through a telescope has a charm all on its own. That being said, the Solar Walk app allows you to tour the solar system in a way not possible from Earth. With the 3D Solar System app you’ll rocket across the heavens to beautifully rendered planets accurately depicted in breathtaking detail. The spectacular graphics accurately simulate both the texture and color of the planets. Furthermore the Solar Walk app allows you to both witness and trace the orbital paths of the planets. Lastly, the adjustable clock enables you to travel through time to reveal the position of planets at various points in history, including the future.

The Solar Walk app combines intuitive finger control, smooth animation, and luscious 3D graphics. With the swipe of a finger you can circumnavigate an entire planet, or position yourself to observe celestial bodies from all sides and angles. Use the 3D mode for an even more realistic experience. With the 3D Solar System app, the sky’s NOT the limit. Why not zoom out and take in the entire galaxy. For those suffering from a God complex, you can also use your finger to spin the entire galaxy.

If only the office workers knew the power in your… little… finger. Ah ha ha ha ha ha! *Maniacal laugh*.

In short, the Solar Walk app makes exploring the universe safe, fun, and slightly disturbing. Plus, the Solar Walk app does not require an Internet connection.

The latest version of the Solar Walk app contains virtual 3D models of well-known, man-made satellites, including their real time trajectories. Here’s a list of some of the big hitters:

The 3D Solar System app also includes a breathtaking simulation of flying over the Earth on a satellite. Coolsville Daddy-O.
