Night Sky on Mobile Device
Plešek, Jan ; Dittrich, Petr (referee) ; Koutný, Jiří (advisor)
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Menlo} This thesis describes concept and implementation of the application designed to observate the night sky in the simple and intuitive way using the concept of augmented reality. Based on the brief specification of the most widespread mobile operation systems, the iOS system was chosen as the implementation platform. The thesis describes methods to calculate the position of celestial objects based on the data gathered from GPS module, magnetometer and accelerometer. Stars, planets and other objects are rendered by the stereographic projection. The user can see celestial objects trough the mobile device display and control the direction of the view by positioning and turning the device. The application could be used for quick orientation in night sky during astronomical observation or educational purposes.
