Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are becoming more integrated parts of the modern technology world as evident with the 'Universe2go' star finder that helps to digitize the night sky.
While traditional star gazing apps and accessories will simply help users find constellations, the 'Universe2go' headset works to enable users to interact with the sky as they view it. Able to focus on certain stars to view information or constellations, the 'Universe2go' superimposes digital imagery over the sky to provide a revolutionary perspective.
Working with an accompanying app, the 'Universe2go' star finder works nearly anywhere in the world to provide beautiful experiences. Best of all, the 'Universe2go' AR headset only requires an Internet connection for setup, which increases the capabilities of the device exponentially.
