Space Shuttle Goes Virtual

Jan. 3, 2016 – You may recall some memories of the cardboard spaceship you once built, when you first encounter Lynx VR’s Space Shuttle Tour for Cardboard, as it launches in the Google Play store today. Behind its icon, a little cardboard space shuttle, hides a nifty app for Google Cardboard, which enables you to get up-close with the iconic Space Shuttle orbiter.

The app allows you to explore more than fifty panoramic photos of the NASA Space Shuttle in virtual reality. You can look around to see the scenes in every direction, and hear the atmospheric sounds of the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

“Looking at the Shuttle in virtual reality gives a unique sense of scale,” said Thomas Papa, Co-Founder of Lynx VR. “It allows anyone with a modern smartphone and a cardboard viewer to experience being in and around the most technologically advanced machine ever engineered by man.”

You can get Space Shuttle Tour Cardboard for free, on Google Play.
