NASA 3DV App For iOS Users - Now Explore Space And Beyond On The Go

If you are a space and cosmos enthusiast, you must've been keenly following the projects of NASA, ISRO and other space research organizations. And now if you are on a iPhone or iPad, you could explore the different aspects of NASA’s human deep space exploration using the NASA 3DV mobile app. Right from the low-earth orbit to the outer space, from planets like Mars to asteroids and beyond, the 3DV app lets you delve deeper into the projects being worked on by NASA. The app is divided into three parts - the Model Viewer, the Scene Viewer and Augmented Reality. Let's find out what all functions are possible with the NASA 3DV App.

With the NASA 3DV model viewer, users can explore some of the critical components of NASA’s human deep space program. Users get to choose a vehicle that can be your carrier to various locations. Controlling it is possible via rotate, pivot or pinch to zoom functions. Whereas, the 3DV Scene Viewer lets you get up and close through a fixed point in space. Users can move their device around to look up, down and around. Users will feel as if they are standing on the Operation & Checkout facility's launch platform or even 200 feet in the air on the catwalk leading to the Orion crew module. Isn't that something?
