Realities
About
Explore places that were out of reach before
Realities brings real world locations into VR - interactive & with stunning photo-realism using photogrammetry. Too many amazing sites are too far away, too expensive to get to, closed off to the general public or too dangerous to visit. Explore those places and discover their stories.
Walk through the desolate vastness of Death Valley. Explore the eerie abandonned hospital Beelitz Heilstätten in the former GDR. Marvel at the amazing architecture of one of the largest cathedrals of the world, the Cologne Cathedral. Feel the confinement of a cell in Alcatraz. Set foot inside the ruins of an 800 year old Staufer castle.
Realities is regularly updated with new locations!
Exploring is possible with the HTC Vive & the Oculus Rift

The various Places are spatially rather restricted, on a few Square meters. There are also various 3D Conversion errors to marvel at, similar to the GoogleMaps 3D Areas.
The most detailed is the Cologne Cathedral, rather The low Level of Detail was Alcatraz (only one Cell). In general, as measured by download size, there are only a few Places. There is definitely Potential for Optimization.
Through the Original Textures, everything seems very detailed, but ultimately does not deceive the static Scene.

Hmm, actually a great Thing, just travel to Places and look At sights without moving your Butt out of the Apartment, BUT.
Point 1, the Control is really incredibly bad, who programs such a thing? (Oculus Touch)
Point 2, the Stability of the Software is also very poor, when loading another Location the Software hangs up almost standard, so do not love Developers.
OK, the Software is free, but loading down the 28GB I could have really saved myself will be deleted again, too bad.

Right, right, really good Idea. Have fed up with the end of the Download.
But I didn't get really happy. You can look at some Locations and they also look quite good.
Unfortunately, looking for the Marks has something to do with Scavenger Hunting of a 5-Year-old rather than a certain Challenge. Maybe I just had the wrong Expectations. And if you just have Buck to look at the Buildings or Landscapes, you will certainly entertain them for a While. It's hard for me to give my Thumb down because there's a lot of Effort in creating It. Definitely Air to The top.

Product received for free I was looking forward to it (Note: 22 GB download), but you are severely restricted in the Scope. In almost all Scenes you only move around 5m x 5m small Area. Teleporting to other Locations is prohibited (red Target Marking). Apparently unnecessary, because they are even partly visible from my Position.
In Addition, you can't do anything except listen to audio guides.
It seems more like a small Collection of 3D photos with a small motion frame instead of a real VR scene.
Still, Thank you, for the Effort you put in with it.

Here you can visit some Places that you can't otherwise easily reach. With Laser Scan and 360 ° Photos you are placed here directly in the Scene. Although today's Scanning Technology still has Artefacts and Fragments, especially with Glass Panes or Grids, there are still beautiful Pictures and Environments to visit.
What sets this apart from simple Environments like SteamVR Home are the Audio Commentary on each Location. Since it's closteness, you can't complain and there's always new Stuff to come along.
Therefore, just take a look.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1366177109 Since some Commentators have complained that the Content (i.e. the Places) exists only As DLCs: There is simply a good Reason for this: Not everyone wants to install the Game easily. Download more than 20GB of Data. The DLCs are free and you can choose what to load and see.
