Description

Join Tilda Swinton and CERN scientists on an epic journey through the birth and evolution of the universe. Discover how space, time and the visible universe came to be.

Join Tilda Swinton and CERN scientists on an epic interactive journey through the birth and evolution of the universe - in mixed reality. Go back in time 13.8 billion years and discover how space, time and the visible universe came to be.

See the universe form in the palm of your hand. Witness the formation of the very first stars, our solar system, and the planet we call home. Immerse yourself in the primordial mystery of the early universe in space and watch events unfold around you, in your own physical environment.

Learn about the microscopic building blocks that make up everything - and everyone - we know, and find out if we really are made of stars.

See the universe form as you stretch out your hand in front of your camera. Create the very first particles and atoms. Make a star explode, create a supernova and explore the nebula. See our solar system come together and hold the Earth in the palm of your hand.

Find out how we are made from stars, take a #starselfie and share it with your friends.

This app has options for subtitles.

Great Interaction App To Understand The BB

This is a wonderful app to really understand how it all started with the big bang. Wonderful graphics wonderful sound and well narrated. To take this app further it would be great to have the ability to look around the other planets within a galaxy and to understand how those planets are made up et cetera. It was great to hold Earth in your hand it would be great to hold other planets of your choosing in your hand. Well done don’t give up keep developing.

Great but don’t bother with photos

The app is fantastic in itself but was most disappointed with the snapshot facilities. I use this on an iPad Pro 12.9”, it shows the photo you’ve taken as it disappears from the screen. When you go to photos afterward, all you have is an empty ‘Big Bang AR’ album each time you took a photo. It doesn’t save the ‘starselfie’ either. I believe that the program needs a bit more work to bring it up up to spec, then I would gladly give it five stars. Something of this is magnitude, in conjunction with such a prestigious scientific establishment such as CERN, one would expect excellence upon release. I have tried reloading the program but without any success in rectifying the problem. C’mon chaps, wiggle the old grey matter and please get it right. Looking forwarded to more endeavours in the future.

From an augmented human, no really.

Wow

Don’t usually try out any apps other than the ones I’m use to. I seen this app and gave it a try, it is very impressive and interesting to see all the things we are made of and how we came to be. This is an amazing app. For everyone that would like more information on our planet and the ones around use download this app
