Can we explore the universe in VR ?

[Littlenose]

Saw this thread and started wondering if anyone knows of a good program/game that allows you to view the known galaxy / universe in VR?
I've always been captivated by the thought of viewing things from a different perspective.

There's Titans Of Space, not sure if it lets you explore the whole Universe but it definitely does our solar system.

cheers - I'll take a look at that

Have you played Elite?

Elite Dangerous is a 1:1 recreation of the milky way, even better is you can literally play it as an explorer there will be some inevitable fights with pirates even in solo mode but break the tedium

I think I have Elite from the Epic Games weekly giveaway. I had no idea it modelled the milky way, thoguht it was procedurally generated... I'll take a look-see
cheers !

Universe Sandbox https://universesandbox.com/ also works in VR.. and that allows you to not only look.. but play.. (It's not the whole universe )

this looks very cool... definitely going on my wishlist

SpaceEngine is amazing in vr. Its more a factual thing than a game though. Basically you can travel anywhere in the universe

This looks like it’s exactly the thing I was looking for in my original post… it’s a certain purchase if it works nice with VR

That’s good to know.
If it tanks (5900x & 3080Ti), then I’ll try the legacy mode as you suggest.
