Choose a star, plonk down a rocky planet in its habitable zone, add an atmosphere and some water and we've succeeded, haven't we? Not quite. One of its most prominent core features is the terraforming of desolate, dead planets into a second Earth marked by the footprints of life.Ĭreating a habitable planet doesn't seem too difficult a task. For VR system requirements, see recommendations from your headset manufacturer.With the ability to mould the cosmos at your will, Universe Sandbox ² holds countless possibilities and potential. HTC Vive, Oculus Rift+Touch, and Windows Mixed Reality are officially supported.

Material system - build planets out of hydrogen, iron, rock, & water.Historical simulations - ride along with Juno, New Horizons, & other spacecraft.


Supernova a Star: Make a star evolve by cranking up its age or mass, then watch a supernova unfold.Deform Surfaces: Impact planets with asteroids and comets and leave behind massive, molten craters.Terraform Planets: Add carbon dioxide to a planet's atmosphere to heat it up.Or move the Earth farther from the Sun and freeze the entire planet. Model a Planet's Climate: Watch sea ice grow and recede with the seasons because of the tilt of the Earth: change the tilt and change the seasons.Collide Planets & Stars: Epic, mind-blowing collisions of massive planetary bodies.Real science, real physics, no supercomputer required. Simulate Gravity: N-body simulation at almost any speed using Newtonian mechanics.See official release notes for a list of updates and their changes. The latest version, Universe Sandbox, is a sequel to the original Universe Sandbox Legacy. It merges real-time gravity, climate, collision, and material interactions to reveal the beauty of our universe and the fragility of our planet. Universe Sandbox is a physics-based space simulator that allows you to create, destroy, and interact on an unimaginable scale.
