Description: Visit Chernobyl without leaving home! Chernobyl VR Project is a unique project developed by The Farm 51, as it combines video games with educational and movie narrative software. It is the very first virtual tour around the Chernobyl and Pripyat area, compatible with PlayStation VR headset. Now with PlayStation exclusive content – the roof area nearby The Ark sarcophagus. Find out more about the nuclear disaster’s history and today’s exploration of the contaminated zone.
Review: It doesn’t really matter how old you are, the Chernobyl disaster is ingrained in us all. The catastrophic nuclear accident that happened will forever change our world and will do for thousands of years to come, maybe even tens of thousands. It is a part of history that needs to be remembered and never forgotten. So this is where the Chernobyl VR Project comes into it. Using state of the art 360° video cameras the team risked their own lives to bring us this and that deserves a lot of respect. While I do have respect for the team who make and filmed this app I sadly don’t like the finished product. Sure it’s a good experience, but it wasn’t really an experience that needed VR to be told.
