NASA has just released a neat Visualization app for the iPad and it’s a cool way to use your tablets to gain some perspective on this little, blue marble that we all live on.
The NASA Viz iPad app is jam-packed with information about Earth, as you can view multiple photos of the planet from the skies. There are a host of different models to interact with including those which show how many satellites are surrounding us, a view on where plan thrive, how much carbon is being released where and more. Each section includes multimedia information in the form of texts, pictures and videos.
The NASA Viz iPad app is brand new so it may still have some bugs. On the reviews, multiple users have said that you can’t get out of the instructions menu. I haven’t opened that because I’m scared I’ll get caught in that deathtrap, so just beware. You can download the app from here (iTunes link).
