Universe Sandbox (now called Universe Sandbox Legacy) was a great tool for exploring (and destroying) the cosmos, but there were some things missing. Simulating the universe, however, is never a completed task. And besides, who doesn't want to smash Earth into Mars? Sure enough, it quickly became a Steam-success story. It wasn't long, however, before he realized the potential of this powerful gravity simulator: It didn't just appeal to computational physicists it opened a door to understanding our complex universe. Universe Sandbox began as Dan's personal project - a physics program that would make a nice portfolio addition. Now available on Steam Early Access for PC, Mac, and Linux/SteamOS: Buy Universe Sandbox History With an HTC Vive, Oculus Rift+Touch, or WMR headset, you can fly around your simulation, melt planets with a giant laser, and hurl them around with a flick of the wrist. Then spawn a galaxy nearby to rip apart the Milky Way. Manipulate Earth's seasons or twist its orbit outward and freeze the oceans solid. Speed up time and watch stars evolve till they supernova. Realistically model our solar system or bend the laws of physics. Universe Sandbox is a space simulator that merges gravity, climate, collision, and material interactions to reveal the beauty of our universe and the fragility of our planet. Hitch a ride with spacecraft including Juno and New Horizons, or view a total solar eclipse.Create and destroy on a scale you never before imagined. Watch a supernova unfold by colliding two stars, cranking up their mass, or making them explode at your whim. Or move planets close to a star and see the oceans boil away as the surface heats up. Watch sea ice grow and recede with the seasons because of a planet’s tilt - change the tilt and change the seasons. Spruce it up with moons, rings, comets, or even a black hole. Real science, real physics, no supercomputer required.Įpic, mind-blowing collisions of massive planetary bodies that leave behind molten craters. N-body simulation at almost any speed using Newtonian mechanics.

Universe Sandbox includes the desktop version and a VR mode with support for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift+Touch, and Windows Mixed Reality* 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 realistic physics-based space simulator that allows you to create, destroy, and interact on an unimaginable scale.
