Smithsonian Channel Crafts Augmented Reality Game for Apollo Moon Landing Fans
By Jack Herbert • July 12, 2019
The Smithsonian Channel recently released an immersive augmented reality (AR) app that re-creates the full timeline of the Apollo missions, allowing users to relive history for themselves. The “Apollo’s Moon Shot AR” app is based on the Smithsonian Channel’s television series “Apollo’s Moon Shot”, which follows the journey of the moon landing program. Once users have traveled to the moon, they get to pick their own missions, like shooting off a rocket from Earth, or piloting the Apollo lander to the moon’s surface from lunar orbit.
