Overview
The AstroReality LUNAR Models are up to 1:116,020,845 scale high definition 3D printed and hand crafted Moon models that you can hold in your hands. Using the most accurate industrial 3D printing technology available today, LUNAR is modeled to 0.006 millimeters per pixel precision, based on data captured by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. With its Augmented Reality app - AstroReality, it weaves together an unparalleled way to experience the Moon, in your hands, and through your smartphone.

 

This world's first smart Moon model features a high-resolution topography, where each topographic feature is perfected by hand before it is finished with hand applied colors and a safe, protective coating.

Using advanced Augmented Reality technology, LUNAR paired with the AstroReality app allows you to learn captivating facts and trivia, simulate Moon missions and embark on personalized lunar adventures from your home or classroom.

Each crater and every feature on the Moon’s surface are a part of the Moon’s timeline and narrative. Using state of the art technology, combined with exhaustive prototyping and experimentation, the AstroReality LUNAR Model brings the Moon’s story to life.

Poly resin density, 3D printing and paint pigment ratios have been refined to ensure that the AstroReality LUNAR Model’s surface - its dead volcanoes, impact craters, seas and lava flows - are so clearly visible it’s as if you were Buzz Aldrin witnessing them with a naked eye.

In total, the co-founder James Li  and his team of artists spent two and a half year perfecting the AstroReality LUNAR Model - crafting, building and testing each prototype in accordance with NASA’s LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) data to ensure unparalleled scientific accuracy. 

 

Like many children gazing up at the night sky, our founder, James, dreamed of exploring that distant and mysterious wonder we call the moon. Discovering the Apollo space program only fueled his passion and curiosity for all things lunar.

Even upon becoming a famous game creator, astrophotographer, accomplished developer, artist, entrepreneur, and model craftsman, he never lost sight of his childhood dream. A dream which has now been realized as the AstroReality LUNAR Model, enabling everyone to explore the Moon, its craters, valleys and mysteries - all at the touch of a fingertip.

This is how much the Moon fascinates him, and the Moon he made fascinates us.

 
 

The Moon has captivated the human imagination throughout history. Though it is ever present, there is so little we know. We wanted to bring the Moon closer, to bring all of our stargazing dreams into reality. Our mission is to inspire as many space lovers as we can, helping to awaken and educate a new generation of astronomy enthusiasts through the power of technology. 

 

Quantum Technologies is a team of astronomy enthusiasts, designers, and tech geeks, who are committed to innovation and use technology and creativity to shape the way people interact with science. 

James is AstroReality’s product design lead and also the independent game creator of "Dr. Stanley's House", a science-fiction discovery game series that has millions of players globally. James has worked at Adobe as a Flash evangelist, providing valuable advice and helping tens of thousands of Flash developers. He is a passionate hand-painting artist with The Nebula, The Moon, and Nature his favorites paintings.

Zerlot is a product technology expert who is passionate about interactive visual technology. He has worked at Macromedia and Adobe in product support and development of Flash and streaming media technology for more than ten years. He also founded and led the company behind the world-renowned HTML5 game engine, Egret Engine, which currently has more than 150,000 developers worldwide. Zerlot is passionate about astronomy and deep space photography, partnering with James for the past six years, to shoot a large number of deep space photographs. He’s also a Star Wars fan, and is fascinated by the "Dark Souls" game series.

Joanne has worked for over 10 years at some of the world’s largest advertising agencies. Her passion for digital innovation and marketing technology led her to founding “Seismic Digital”, a boutique agency that partnered with some of the world's top global brands.  Like the other team members, she is endlessly curious about our galaxy, universe, astrophysics and Star Wars, of course.

 

We created LUNAR to inspire and motivate you, to discover the Moon for yourself.

Experience the Moon like never before.
