Summary
Congratulations! You received an "A" on your Solar System science project!
In this chapter, we built a Solar System simulation that can be viewed in virtual reality using a Cardboard VR viewer and an Android phone. This project uses and expands the RenderBox library, as discussed in Chapter 5, RenderBox Engine.
