Google & NASA Develop A 3D Solar System

3D Models for Educational Purposes

In addition to its popular web search engine, Google also has a very comprehensive image search engine that is a vital part of the Google Services ecosystem. Google maintains a catalogue of billions of images and millions of 3D models via its Google Images, Google Maps, Google Earth & other platforms. Now they are adding a new layer to their repository by introducing a special 3D Solar System model, which can be viewed in Augmented Reality.

Google NASA Partnership

The company partnered with NASA to create this detailed 3D 'Space', which features individual models of all the planets and their moons, as well as various iconic man-made satellites, spacecraft and even the International Space Station. When you take a closer look at these unique models and structures, annotations about the history of the heavenly bodies as well as humanity's exploration of space will pop up, so you can learn something new and interesting trivia about our solar system.

Since all these models are available to interact with via AR devices, you can experience a whole new type of learning medium that is open to the public at large. This makes it a great educational tool for millions of children and even adults. Who can visit the Google Arts & Culture website and check it all out for themselves.

You can also do a simple google search about any of the planets and their moons, and Google will give you the option to view all of NASA's 3D models right in your browser. They are also working on bringing the same capabilities to smartphone and tablet apps, but that will take some time. For now, go ahead and enjoy the wonder of creation in a whole new dimension.
