Blueplanet VR v2

Amazing, Viewed with a HTC Vive Headset, WOW, There is so much to see. It has given me the chance to visit places I will never get to see in my lifetime. It is limited as to where you can teleport but that is not really an issue. Also love the way it is made as to how you chose to visit each location, Very creative. Created with future content in mind as well. Plan to spend a good deal of time exploring. There is so much to see. I love everything about it. Thank you 😎👋😁

Quality and craftsmanship is very high. I was really doubtful at the price as well. However, the app delivered a really nice experience. It ran flawless on Quest with VD. The only personal preference I would like to see is the ability for free movement (at least within the vicinity of a teleport point). I also thought the teleport markers could be made much smaller (or toggle on and off???), they stuck out like a sore thumb in an otherwise beautiful landscape (kinda broke immersion) to be honest.

For anyone who has a sense of wanderlust, this is for you. I can't wait for the additional scenes, and I appreciate the effort it takes to capture phototelemetry of this quality. 40 scenes to take you away, mediate, sit back and relax, explore and learn. It's what I wish would happen when Google Earth goes to street view, it would load up scenes these guys would do. Woudln't that be something. I can't wait for additional content. At 29, some people might find it steep, but if you're into this sort of VR vacations - this is for you. Would love to see more locations outside the US, US heavy it seems, but I suppose that's because there is a whole world to explore. Excellent worth, works great on Index, and really cool concept. Why aren't there more things like this??

For my full review with pictures, visit: https://jamespwmartin.com/2020/07/26/review-blueplanetvr/ Blueplanet VR has no relation to the BBC production, Blue Planet, however it does feature some pretty astounding sights. Though most scenes struggle from bouts of low resolution textures and ugly shrubbery, each scene has at least one convincing view that justifies the scene. The most stunning scene is of Antelope Canyon, which exhibits some of the finest modeling and texture work in the whole game. Looking up through the walls of the cavern, it appears so photorealistic, I feel like I can reach out and touch the rocks. Gentle music, sound effects and particle effects add a nice touch to the experience. Blueplanet VR’s biggest strength is its ability to completely immerse you in stunning detail, giving the feeling of actually being there. There are also fly-over scenes that give you the reins to soar over recreated landscapes. One that stands out in particular is that of a glaci...

Way overpriced for the content given. I'm a huge fan of the BBC Planet Earth series and was very disappointed in the content. It was buggy, clunky, most of the places you could visit are super pixelated, and there is no sound or music to immerse yourself in the "VR" experience. Might as well download Google Earth VR for free which is a hundred times more intuitive and visually impressive.

Well, I spent 30min here and 30min with the (excellent) demo. I am still on the fence here ... the program is well done and very immersive (my biggest complain is that there is no snap turn, so you can get entangled in the index cable when navigating). But there is a clear abundance of North American destinations, and no blueprint what I will get later. I'd like to support the developer, and I will spend more time in the BluePlanat VR world, but usd30,- is steep. But I'd gladly pay if I get to know the future destinations. Meanwhile, I give it the benefit of the doubt and a thumps up.

The idea of this VR App is something I love and really want. I would pay quite a bit for one that is executed properly. The visuals and ability to move around the environment are very poor. You don't get to visit much or explore. It's just executed in as basic a way as it possibly could be.

Absolutely phenomenal. The photogrammetry in combination with the ambient music, sounds, and particle effects, do an incredible job of conveying the majesty of each scene. I honestly had goosebumps during my first experience, it was incredibly satisfying and shows just how powerful VR can be when done right. I recommend this to anyone, the experience is much like Google Earth VR and visisting an exhibition. Some 'exhibits' are small and don't give you much room to move around, whilst others let you explore them in greater depth as you navigate their twisting corridors, journeying deeper inside. Performance wise - it's extremely low on resources, therefore you can crank up the SS plenty and enjoy how crisp everything looks whilst maintaining a solid and stable framerate. To the developers: There seems to be an issue whereby if I open up the SteamVR overlay, it borks the experience causing the resolution to drop significantly, also losing the ability to interact with the space - only...

[h1]Experienced on Windows Mixed Reality[/h1] I played the demo. I decided to buy the game. If you enjoy educational / museum / tourist / sightseeing apps in VR, then this is a must buy. It's running on the Unity Engine. It currently has 52 scenes. There's ongoing plans for a future volume of scenes as well. There is only teleportation currently, no smooth or snap turning. Most interactions are point and click or very basic. There's some breath-taking scenes, I especially like the hang gliding scenes (you glide in the air on a hang glider while viewing some gorgeous locations).
