When we think of the biggest, baddest planet in the solar system, there’s no competition—Jupiter stands head and shoulders above the rest. With a mass more than 300 times that of Earth, this gas giant could fit all the other planets inside it and still have room to spare! And now, thanks to our new mixed reality (AR) experience, you can take a closer look at the mighty Jupiter and uncover its secrets like never before on the web, in augmented reality on your phone, and even in AR, VR, and Mixed Reality using your Quest 3.
Our experience brings you into the heart of Jupiter’s swirling atmosphere, where winds can reach up to 384 mph (618 km/h). You'll witness the iconic Great Red Spot, a superstorm twice the size of Earth that’s been churning for centuries. And let’s not forget its 92 moons, each with their own incredible story. Whether it’s the volcanic chaos of Io or the icy mystery of Europa, you’ll see why Jupiter is a true giant in every sense of the word.
Our webapp allows you to view Jupiter in your backyard using your phone and augmented reality (AR), yet you can view it in 3D in any browser, or if you own a meta Quest3, you can view it in VR (Virtual Reality) or MR (Mixed Reality)
But that’s not all! Jupiter isn’t just a fascinating planet to observe—it’s a key player in our Europa Prime VR game. The gas giant’s gravity has a profound effect on Europa, one of its moons, where players will explore in the virtual world. This web experience gives a sneak peek into the incredible forces Jupiter exerts on its moons and helps build a connection between science and interactive exploration. You’ll even get a chance to imagine how future missions might unravel the mysteries beneath Europa’s icy surface—all tied back to Jupiter’s immense power.
Jupiter’s magnetic field is another jaw-dropper, extending over four million kilometers. It’s so strong that if you were nearby, you'd be pelted with radiation! But through our AR experience, you can safely explore this environment and learn how it affects the space around it, including its role in shaping our solar system.
