In this assignment, we simulate an astronaut space walk around a space shuttle. Movement direction is controlled by the orientation of head-mounted display, and users can move around using the mouse: Left click moves forward, right click moves backward, and middle click resets the position.

Special feature: FoB data smoothing function is implemented to reduce shaking in the viewer.

The star field in the background is rendered from scientifically correct data (position and luminosity) obtained from http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/miscellaneous/starfield using GL_POINTS.
