Material Detail

'Find a Mars-bound spaceship, glimpse a near-Earth asteroid, watch a lunar elevator take off from the Moon, and more in this new augmented reality (AR) app created as a companion to the exhibition Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration at the American Museum of Natural History. Download the app before you visit the exhibition, then look for 11 AR icons, including a Moon base, NASA's Curiosity Rover, and more, sprinkled throughout the show. Use the camera on your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad 2 to activate the icon and unlock animations. Then, share images by email or post to Facebook and Twitter. A link to a special site will let you collect additional icons, find out the science behind space technologies, and share photos with friends. Using the app at home? Visit amnh.org/beyond to print the AR icons and start your collection now! For more information about the Beyond Planet Earth Augmented Reality app, the Beyond Planet Earth exhibition, and the Museum, visit our website at amnh.org.'
