The Homestead

Edited 12/17/20 First, the big positive, and this may be a niche thing, but as a painter myself, I really appreciate how detailed the paintings in this gallery are. Not only in resolution, but being able to see thickly painted brush strokes in real 3d, the shininess or matteness in areas of the paintings, plus many other very subtle details. It's something very unique to this app, I've tried some VR museum apps, and they fail to capture the texture and sheen of real paintings, those apps usually opt to use a generic bumpmap texture instead of actual scanning data. You can tell the devs really put effort into giving a real feeling art experience. They actually addressed my previous review gripes in an update with more polish to the environment and in my opinion did a fantastic job, adding a level of surreal quality of the house being on a house sized island in the middle of a storm. I really recommend this if you are an art lover. Just know that this is not a game, it is an experienc...

2080ti, i7 6700, 8gb ram, vive pro Nothing big to see here and very small amount of content is present but this is a start. Performance is fine. I'll recommend it if you like supporting artistic developers.

If you own a high quality HMD and computer, this could stand as the new go to "wow new users" software replacing the dated TheBlu. You can see individual brushstrokes, all of them. 2080ti

Wow, truly incredible! Nice work! A new bar has been set.

I enjoyed the app. It has some of the clearest, cleanest photogrammetry I've seen in VR. It is worth the price for me, but others who may be tight on funds may find the content not worth the price. I couldn't figure out how to walk on the paintings, but I want to try that soon. The atmosophere is excellent, and very immersive. I liked the experimental loco, but faster would be better.

Whilst it looks nice and impressive being able to see the art close up in nice detail, I'm giving it a thumbs down simply on the price at £3.99 as I barely got 20 mins in it, and that included listening to the audio and viewing the art twice. There's no snap turn, although I've got a 3rd sensor for my rift it wasn't a problem, but I still would have liked to have the option to snap turn. In order to listen to the audio, you have to stand quite close to some of the art, would have been better if there was a way to listen to the audio standing further back instead of practically touching it with my nose. Also didn't like the way an outside tree started poking through the artwork on one of the walls and could have lived without the weather. Should be free for the amount of time you get out of it. Refunded. ***Updated*** In response to the developer saying snap turn was enabled a few hours ago, well I played this about 2 hours ago I guess and there was no snap turn, sorry but it w...
