Hi guys and gals. We've been very hard at work making Star Chart better. We're closing in on our first big update to Star Chart for Vive and Rift. There are of course still some remaining tasks, and we're re-looking at the controls and tutorial, but you can expect to see a major (free) update coming to Star Chart soon! :) There are a ton of bug fixes and minor enhancements that we won't go into, but from a major feature point of view here are some of the big ticket items you can expect to see added: • Moments In Time featuring Apollo 11 landing scene and the Curiosity Mars Rover. • The breaking up of Star Chart into discreet modes available from a "launch room". • The ability to view Meteor Showers in Sky View. • The ability to view Messier Objects in Sky View and 'hold' them on your controller. • The ability to search for solar bodies in both Sky View and Explore Mode • More planetary moons and other solar bodies • The addition of "artists impressions" of solar bodies without known surface features (this gets rid of the "Tron line wire meshes" many of you hated ;) ) • An enhanced controller layout and improved tutorial. We'd love to hear your feedback when it launches, but we're also interested in hearing any more feedback you have now, so we have a chance to address those issues if at all possible. All the best, The Star Chart Team.
