Description: VR Astronomy and Geography Lab (Universe Spacecraft, Solar System, Earth, Moon, Relativity, Flying over the World, etc) This laboratory contains 4 sub-games, which will allow you to experience the magnificence of the universe, the beauty of the earth, the wonder of the moon, and the very different world you see when driving a spaceship near the speed of light under the effect of relativity. Our team comes from the Department of Physics at the California Institute of Technology and Oxford University and incorporates physical science formulas into visual effects.
Review: ‘VR Astronomy and Geography Lab’ is a collection of experiences none of which seem to have much to do with each other. There is travelling into space, seeing a post-apocalyptic city as you hot air balloon over it and even some arm exercises. It’s all low-poly and none of it is educational, fun, nor interactive in any way. If this were free I would have recommended it as some of the experiences are OK, but it is definitely not worth the £15.49 asking price, not even close. If there was more educational content and some narration it would be worth a look, but never at its current asking price.
