ZDF History 360° – Tempelhof reviews and comments

ZDF History 360 ° Tempelhof is a VR experience of ZDF. It addresses the History of Berlin'S old Tempelhof Airport, which closed in 2008.
To tell the Story vividly, we accompany an annoying Robotic Sulphur ball V.I.C.T.O.R. and help with him a ghostly statgery little Girl. So we learn about the Airport's Past in a playful way and learn Details from little Hanna's Life.
Despite sophisticated Technology (Photogrammetry), Tempelhof unfortunately looks lifeless and look. The Textures are slightly blurry throughout. This can be seen particularly clearly in a STUKA. Throughout history, we can take a closer look at the Fighter Jet. Unfortunately, the sophisticated Camouflage paint only turns out to be a Pixel Porridge.
We can only Move by Teleportation to certain Areas of the Rooms. This is not a hindderous thing. In the Course Of the game, however, the Teleportation Option is only given when the Hover ball is finally finished with, in the Long run annoying Quassel. When we Reach certain Places in the Room, the Robot is triggered to reveal Information. Unfortunately, we can't interrupt the annoying Ball if we've been there before.
Little Hanna also speaks in a slightly annoying High Voice and can't be interrupted any more than the Flying ball. In addition, the Figure is also insufficiently animated. She is neither lip-synced nor logically moving to the Statements she makes.
The whole Experience is aimed more at younger People, because the Entertainment style of the two Protagonists is very child-friendly. It is reported slowly and extensively. On Topics such as War and Destruction, the ledking Robot even prints around and uses Words like "evil planes doing a Woe." What a pity. I would have liked to see more attention in some Places about the Brutality and Futility of the Wars.
However, I left the Experience after a good 1h, because I could no longer bear the child-friendly nature of the Program and the technical Implementation, then for me.
Too bad, I was expecting more, at least slightly more adult the Content.
The Idea of conveying Information in this Way is not bad at all. However, if you are really interested in the History of Tempelhof Airport from the early 1920s to 2008, you are quickly demotivated to end the Experience here. Whether the target Group – younger People mentioned – is even interested Here is doubtful. More Interested People, will probably be quickly annoyed by the Nature of the Presentation.
A Little more Love in the technical Details plus a more adult Version and our GEZc fee would be well spent here.
