Armchair Astronaut allows you to explore the solar system in stunning high definition incorporating a combination of real and digitally-created 3D content.  You will be transported from your couch into an immersive cinematic experience traveling between celestial bodies and even exploring the surface of other planets.  Each astronomical object presents jaw-dropping data visualization including dynamic content rendered in beautiful high definition 3D. Armchair Astronaut is both an exciting tool for education and an impressive demonstration of 3D home theater technology. Some of the highlights of the Astronaut Armchair application are full color stereoscopic 3D images from the surface of Mars, as collected by various rovers.  True HD stereoscopic time-lapse video from NASA's two STEREO spacecraft of our sun in motion. Stereoscopic images created from the vast library of Apollo lunar landing photography, and dynamic data maps on the Earth, including near-realtime earthquake data. Armchair Astronaut is a perfect way to demonstrate a new 3D home entertainment system.  It's also a great way to introduce children to the concept of the Solar System and the excitement of space exploration. Armchair Astronaut was created by Artefact a premier Seattle based Design Consultancy.  Visit us at http://www.artefactgroup.com View our video in 3d
