Explore the Universe in Your Living Room: “Cosmic XR” Launches on Meta Quest

Experience the cosmos firsthand with hand-tracked interactions and mixed reality technology

April 22, 2025 — Los Angeles, CA — Cosmic XR, a new mixed reality experience for Meta Quest, is now available on the Meta Quest platform. This immersive app allows users to explore the universe—from the vast filaments of the cosmic web to the swirling arms of the Milky Way—right in their own living space.

Using hand tracking and passthrough capabilities, Cosmic XR transforms any room into a living observatory. Users can touch, grab, rotate, and scale up celestial objects with natural gestures. The experience includes interactive scenes of the cosmic web, galaxies, Milky Way, Andromeda, the solar system, and even a deep dive into the galactic center’s black hole, Sagittarius A*.

“I wanted people to feel the scale and beauty of the universe—not just see it, but touch it,” said Yoon Park, the designer and developer behind the app. “With hand interaction and mixed reality, space becomes a personal, tangible experience.”

Ideal for space lovers, curious minds, and STEM educators, Cosmic XR also includes detailed planetary and moon models—letting users closely examine worlds like Ganymede, Titan, and Callisto.

Hand-tracked direct interactions with celestial bodies – touch, grab, scale with one or two hands
Mixed reality with passthrough, optional opacity control for both AR and VR experiences
Detailed models of planets and moons
Exploration of cosmic structures like the Milky Way and black holes

Try Cosmic XR now on the Meta Quest Store

Features

Cosmic Web

Wander through the largest known structure in the universe — a glowing lattice of filaments stretching across billions of light-years. See how galaxies aren’t scattered randomly, but delicately woven into the web of dark matter and gravity.

Galaxies

Drift through endless space, where galaxies sparkle like distant lanterns. Spiral, elliptical, and irregular — each one a vast island of stars, dust, and mystery, floating silently in the cosmic sea.

Milky Way

Trace the graceful arms of our home galaxy, rich with glowing nebulas and starlight. Lose yourself in the delicate swirl of dust and color as you explore the Milky Way from an impossible vantage point.

Andromeda

Meet our galactic neighbor, Andromeda. Watch its spiral arms unfold before you as it drifts slowly toward us across time and space, destined to merge with the Milky Way billions of years from now.

Solar System

Step inside the architecture of our planetary family. View orbital paths as luminous trails, and observe the clockwork dance of planets circling our Sun in a living, dynamic model of the solar system.

Planet Details

Reach out and hold the worlds of our system. Rotate Earth, skim the storms of Jupiter, and scale the icy surface of moons like Ganymede, Titan, and Callisto. Examine each celestial body up close — not as a diagram, but as a world.

Galactic Center – Black Hole

Approach the edge of known physics at Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole anchoring the Milky Way. See light bend, time distort, and reality begin to unravel as you peer into its mysterious gravitational heart.
