PlanetaryXR is an augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) web app featuring 3D models of planetary bodies, built using A-Frame, ARToolKit and the AR.js library. It is currently in the process of being ported to native Three.js.

AR markers can be downloaded here.

Although primarily focused on creating an AR experience, PlanetaryXR also features a virtual reality (VR) mode which will build upon the 3D planetary models by offering a locational data and a lightweight map interface.

Both AR and VR apps are currently in very early development.
