Apple AR: Get Up Close to Our Solar System Using AR

Planets in a solar system model, including Earth and Venus.

Our universe has never been closer thanks to Apple's ARKit. YouTube user Jenil Kansara has been playing around with ARKit features and created a solar system in his room.

The cool part about this is that the planets orbit the sun, it's not just a stagnant rendering. He seems to have included all of our parents; the moon is even attached to Earth as it orbits around the large sun. A solar system model like this could be great for learning purposes — kids could get up close to the solar system easily through their iPhones.

And who wouldn't want the solar system floating around in their room?
