Put a planetarium in your pocket with Sega's
Homestar Portable software for the PSP. Imagine
wandering down a country path with your boy scout
troupe under a starry sky. When the scoutmaster
asks, "Where exactly is Orion?" you can flick out of
the PSP, power-up, and stare at the flickering
screen. After hunting and pecking for a few seconds,
answer (with steely-eyed authority), "The Hunter is
over there..." while pointing skyward like Babe Ruth
at the batting cage.
Homestar Portable includes a database which maps 5,000,000 stars in
the heavens and their respective constellations. The
program is based on the Megastar-II Cosmos
planetarium projector developed by Takayuki Ohira
who oversaw the PSP Homestar project and provided
his expertise. Homestar Portable features over 300
celestial bodies and formations that may be viewed
including constellations, comets, eclipses, nebulae,
planets, and aurora. For eager learners, a series of
20 sky tours in the Fantasy Theater goes through
star systems and showcases events in the skies.
When used in conjunction with the GPS Receiver, a Homestar Portable
user will be able to lock his position in the
software and view the night sky on the PSP as it
currently appears above him. Since the Earth moves
across the solar system and the orientation of the
stars change, the program keeps track of your
location on Earth and maps the skies according to
the time, date, and geographic location. A game
sharing feature allows users to beam their current
star maps to other users. |
