The orrery would be cool but it hardly is "a new way to interact with the world". Nor is the Thargoids.
I mean clicking on planets in a 3d map or the current 2d system view isnt interacting with the world, its viewing information. Interact means that you can affect it somehow, and surely we wont be able to affect planets in a map orrery view. (ooh ill just add a bit of atmosphere here, and launch an asteroid there..)
So unless they worded it wrong, it wont be the Orrery that they were talking about. Because that isnt interactivity, its information viewing.
