Now you can view Earth from aboard the ISS in VR
Most people will never get to see the Blue Marble that is Earth from the perspective of space. But a new VR experience takes us pretty dang close. The makers of a VR documentary about life aboard the International Space Station are releasing a new "fully immersive" 7-minute experience called "Home Planet" that situates viewers inside the observational Copula Module aboard the ISS. The Cupola Module is basically like a little crow's nest from which astronauts can keep an eye on activities outside the ISS, and it comes with a universe-class view of Earth. iRobot Roomba Combo i3+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum and Mop—$329.99(List Price $599.99) Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 10.9" 64GB Wi-Fi Tablet—$169.99(List Price $219.99) Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen With MagSafe USB-C Charging Case—$189.99(List Price $249.00) Eero 6 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (Router + 2 Extenders)—$149.99(List Price $199.99) Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS, 41mm, Midnight, S/M, Sports Band)—$299.00(List Price $399.00) Apparently, the feeling of viewing Earth from this vantage point and gaining that Carl Sagan-esque perspective is called "The Overview Effect." The new experience promises to give the public a VR version of that inspiring view. "Home Planet" is debuting at Facebook Connect, the company's metaverse event, Thursday. But after 5 p.m. PST, anyone can find it for free in the Oculus TV app and in the Oculus Space Explorers app. Happy Earth viewing!Prime Day deals you can shop right now
