A basic (but evolving) virtual planetarium app for Samsung Gear VR!

Features:

• All stars in the night sky brighter than magnitude 4.5.
• Constellations with name labels.
• Textured and correctly-positioned planets (with exaggerated size for easier selection).
• Small selection of Messier objects.
• Hover over an object to see its name.
• Tap on the VR trackpad when hovering over an object to see a detailed description from Wikipedia. (Press the Back button or tap in empty space to dismiss the description)
• Scroll horizontally on the VR trackpad to shift field of view.

To do:

• Proper lighting from the Sun, to create correct phases of Moon and planets.
• Rings on Neptune.
• Moons of other planets.
• Tilt of other planets.
• Milky Way background.
• More Messier objects.

To run the app on your device, you'll need to generate an Oculus Signature File for the device, and put the file in the "assets" directory. https://developer.oculus.com/osig/

You may then build and run the app in the usual way. The app has been tested on the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S6, and Galaxy S7.

This project contains pre-built binaries from the Oculus SDK and the Samsung Gear VR Framework (the framework still uses Eclipse instead of Gradle). To update, use these resources:

• https://github.com/Samsung/GearVRf/releases
• https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/mobile/1.0.0.1/Oculus_Mobile_SDK/

This project uses Wikimedia's RESTBase API for retrieving article content: http://rest.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/v1/?doc

This project uses the AstroLib library (http://mhuss.com/AstroLib/) for calculating planet positions.
