Thanks very much Yuma. I for one am looking forward to if . Richard "You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."

Re: Astreos
Hi Everyone, AstreOS is going through an overhaul, as we are adding some AI features and sonification tools to analyse the objects in the skies. the original project was simply to make things accessible in the augmented reality sense, but between adding the entire universe, uni, a ted talk, the Holman prize, covid and others, I don't have the deep pockets that some other companies have, so I am working on the new features with another developer who is supporting the code for the backend. I will put the new version up tomorrow and link the public test flight through this thread if anyone is interested.

RE: Astreos
I just tried it again by pointing the camera at the sky and it is amazingly nice with VoiceOver. Then, I discovered, it works indoors, even though the camera is only showing stuff in the house, it is reporting the stars etc., you would be pointing at if you were outside I guess. I saw until I was 12 and we spent lots and lots of time in the outdoors, camping in the Sierra mountains, or on the beach around Big Sur, and did lots of star gazing at night, so I have always had a fascination with that kind of information.

Re: Astreos
May have to check out SkyView Lite myself. It’s a shame the other project seems to have been pulled, as I would have enjoyed it too. I used to be a high partial myself and even had a small telescope for a while.

We agreed that a double tap is better for zooming in, as some had to contort themselves in weird positions when an object was straight up above. Hilarious and. funny yes, but the goal of the app is to provide information quickly :) -Some sounds disappear when zooming back from constellations ALongside the above, we're going to expose all of the information which is visually available using 3D audio for voice over. -Many more features to come have a great day y'all -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
