Making the Solar System Come Alive with Augmented Reality (School Project)

In school, we were learning about planets, and I thought: What if I could see them floating in my room? That’s when I decided to build a mini Augmented Reality Solar System using Python.

How I did it:
🌍 Used Blender models for planets.
📱 Connected it with an AR library in Python.
🛰️ Added simple interactions like rotating planets with a click.

Challenges I faced:
Getting planet textures right 🌌.
Making the models small enough to run on my laptop.

Why this project is cool:
Because it made science fun. Instead of just reading about Saturn’s rings, I could actually see them in 3D space.

Tip for students:
You don’t need high-end devices. Start with basic 3D models and small AR libraries. The fun part is experimenting.
