OSR Star Finder
Find your registered star in the night sky with AR.
About This Project
OSR Star Finder transforms the romantic gesture of naming a star into a tangible, interactive experience. Developed for the Online Star Registry, this augmented reality application helps users locate their personally registered star in the night sky. Point your smartphone or tablet at the heavens, and the app overlays constellation lines, star names, and celestial navigation guides. When you approach your registered star's location, the app celebrates with custom animations and displays the personal message attached to the registration. Beyond star finding, the app serves as a comprehensive stargazing companion with mythology guides, astronomical facts, and upcoming celestial events. The database syncs with OSR's registry of millions of named stars, ensuring every customer can find their star regardless of when it was registered. Time-lapse mode shows how the night sky changes throughout the year, helping users plan optimal viewing times.
