Did you consider representing on a logarithmic scale?


that's a really interesting angle.

i thought about it, but i was worried a log scale might abstract away the 'feeling' of the distance (making a light year look deceptively close to a kilometer). i want the user to feel small, and log scales tend to make things look manageable.

but you're right it's probably the only way to fit the solar loops and galactic arc on the same screen visually. might be worth a prototype for v2.


Good point, valid concern. It’s assumed you need to pay to enter the vehicle and this is tied to your credit card. Could the system be setup so you are charged until you exit the vehicle and your trip doesn’t end until you do? Cameras or presence sensors could detect when the occupant enters or leaves the vehicle.

Great work. Very cool. A progress indicator when the content is being parsed would be nice.
