You are about to be taken to a journey into the deep Cosmos.
You will be travelling back in time, seeing the real Universe from today to several billion years in the past.
You will explore epochs when the Sun was not even born.
You will be diving through galaxies. Move your head around to explore how galaxies look like at different epochs. When focusing on a galaxy, a tag will tell you how big it is, how old it is and how far it is located in space time.
And all this is based on forefront scientific research performed by scientists on real telescope data, translated into virtual reality.
This project called “A Stroll in the Cosmos” is led by Professor Claudia Maraston of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation of the University of Portsmouth (http://www.icg.port.ac.uk/author/marastoc/). Data is from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, www.sdss.org) and galaxy physics from ICG scientific results (http://www.sdss3.org/dr10/spectro/galaxy_portsmouth.php).
The virtual reality was created by Kees Jansen and Dr. Nick Savage from the School of Computing of the University of Portsmouth.
Other collaborators include Dr. Violeta Gonzalez-Perez and Dr. Gill Prosser (ICG) for data support and financial and impact support, and Claire Ancient for hardware support.
The art design of the app icon is from Mauro Genova Art.
This application - the ‘CosmicStroll’ - is an emulation of the large-scale software developed for the Oculus Rift, available for viewing at the University of Portsmouth.
Note: We recommend using the application with a mobile phone virtual reality case, easily found online. We also advise to use maximum brightness on the device.
Now sit back, relax and enjoy a Stroll in the Cosmos!
