  • Abstract
    In present-day´s working style, driving vehicle is one of precious chances to be aware of the nature including the celestial sphere. A novel edutainment system is proposed by which a driver can have a clue to be aware of the relationship between the celestial sphere and himself. The attitude of the driver to the celestial sphere is always presented visually to him. The blockage by high rise buildings in cities or mountains in suburban are also superimposed. It will be the first mixed reality system used in our daily life. It serves as edutainment as well as art. Besides, it has another advantage to support two drivers in distant places know if they are sharing any common mew of celestial events when they talk by their cell phones in their vehicles in distant places. Such an experience of sharing the same celestial object, or event in a synchronized way enhances the novel internal sensation of mutual tele-existence
