Oh boy if you're willing to spend money to look at the night sky - but feel like AR falls short currently - I highly recommend looking into NODs, something like a PVS-14, you might be able to pick one up second hand for the price of a new vision pro. Unfortunately photomultiplier are still quite expensive even if they are only gen2 :( some really cool tech though.
- veunes 2y agoHmm, spending that much on seeing the stars vs. augmented reality... I might lean toward the stars
- ghxst 2y agoDefinitely not arguing with you! Though I have a soft spot for analog tech in this area. I think AR might still have a very bright future, especially if you're learning about the night sky. I've spent many hours scanning the sky with an app I found that had an AR feature that allows you to point your camera at the sky and get an overlay on everything (including sattelites!).
- Jolter 2y agoI’m interested in that app if you have a link.
- ghxst 2y agoIt's called Star Walk 2 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitotechnology.StarWalk2 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitotechno... Just a FYI that if you choose to purchase the app you will still have to purchase the "all in one bundle" inside the app, I believe it's ~$5 and it gives you the sattelites, extended solar system, deep space objects and more. There's also a free ad supported version that offers the same base catalogue.
