This is one of my favourite VR experiences. Due to the heavy light pollution in my city, I never get to see the night sky so I was excited to give this a try. I was not disappointed!! Its relaxing, and beautiful. I love how I have the option of changing the music and how fast the night sky moves. The bonus is seeing some Aurora in the night sky. This is better than a planetarium that I've been to in my city, I highly recommend this to anyone who is into night skies and planetariums!

HomestarVR is much better than I thought. It is really a planetarium in VR: It simulates stars, planets and moon, like a basic version of stellarium. You can set the date and time for a location. The Planetarium mode has audio tours for the season skies. The locations in Starry sky are beautiful and come with background sound fx and relaxing music. Constellation lines and names, and almost everything else, are optional and can be turned on or off in the settings in all three modes. The software can be controlled while resting in bed with head movement+trigger.
I saw someone mention this product as being a good VR Planetarium Program. It ALMOST would qualify as good if not for a few glaring details, mostly headset specific (likely). I'll tell you my experiences and you can decide if this matters to you or not. First off, I have only tried this on one headset though I have a few options. I used the Valve Index for this and later I'll try the Reverb G2. I don't expect EVERYTHING will change but at least a few issues may be resolved with a different headset/controller. So first off, the headset itself is not a real problem, other than the fact that it seems like this product was made for headsets without controllers. The interface is primarily gaze based instead of using a controller to select menu options. HOWEVER, the controllers still made an impact on the way it runs. As I said, when you first start it up, you see a red circle reticle in the center of your view. Apparently gazing at any menu option long enough will select it. If yo...
