Constellations: Touch the Stars lets you scan the night sky with a connect the dots experience.<\/p>\n
It’s the latest experience from developer Grant Hinkson via Parietal Lab, who previously released Connectome<\/a> earlier this year using the same \u201cconnect the dots\u201d engine. Constellations: Touch the Stars includes all 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), letting you trace and connect each constellation until the pattern is complete.<\/p>\n Teaser trailer<\/a><\/p>\n It’s been designed using a \u201chands-first\u201d philosophy with hand tracking support, using a thumb tap motion to bring constellations forward. The sky is positioned based on the user\u2019s location to determine which constellations you see, and Constellations: Touch the Stars comes with fully immersive environments in early access. <\/p>\n Further updates are planned following the initial launch, such as a mixed reality stargazing mode that sees stars overlaid against their real positions. This pulls up constellation names and data using the immersive view’s overlay. Other promised features are a ‘lie-back’ mode for looking up at the stars while lying down, social stargazing with friends, and creating your own constellation patterns.<\/p>\n In-game footage<\/a><\/p>\n Constellations will launch in early access on Meta Quest 3\/3S<\/a>, arriving in the first half of December. Pre-early access builds are also available by joining the official Discord<\/a> server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Constellations: Touch the Stars lets you scan the night sky with a connect the dots experience.
