An impression 3D rendering of the solar system for your Android device
Space HD is an app that contains a 3D Live wallpaper of the Solar System. It will display 3D models of all eight planets (including Pluto) along with other galactic elements like comets, moons, protoplanets, zodiac lines and special astrological events. The wallpaper features four different themes including the Inner Solar System and the rarely seen Outer Solar System. You can also adjust the wallpaper’s camera movement and location and share the app with others through a number of mediums. For less than a dollar, users can unlock add-on customizable features including more themes and adding text, personal photos and your zodiac sign to the 3D wallpaper interface.
DualBoot Games did a fantastic job of developing this 3D Live Wallpaper. This wallpaper shows very detailed renderings of solar system and planets and scrolls smoothly and quickly without compromising the phone’s user interface’s frame rate speed. It’s also surprisingly versatile in terms of its customization settings. In addition to adding the aforementioned elements, you can set which planets you want to be shown on screen. Due to the limited space, you will not be able to see all the planets you have selected at one time. The arrangement of planets shown will vary every so often when you reenter to the home screen.
Besides the impressive 3D graphics, one of the more interesting features this 3D Live wallpaper has to offer is a power management setting. The use of normal Live Wallpapers have been known to drain phone batteries faster. The developers had the user’s best interest in mind with the addition of the power management option, which sets the app to High Performance, Balanced or Battery Saver. Coincidentally, these are the same settings name seen on a Windows-powered laptop when adjusting its battery power. Additionally, the lower battery power setting on the app will not reduce the graphic quality or FPS, although it will still naturally drain your battery a little faster because you are using a Live wallpaper.
This 3D wallpaper is perfect for anyone to use whether you are an astrology aficionado or someone who simply enjoys a little bit of scenery on their home screen. Space HD is worth the $0.99 USD to download an this Live wallpaper is only available for Android devices in the Google Play store.
