Description: The Arab Empire (632-1258) was an Islamic empire established by Arabs in the Middle Ages. Chinese history books since the Tang Dynasty have been called “big food (yì)”, while Western Europe is used to call it the Saracen Empire. The Arab Empire has gone through 626 years. There are four major caliphs (632-661) and the Umayyad dynasty (661-750) and the Abbasid dynasty (750-1258).
Review: To give it its full title ‘VR historical journey to the age of Crusaders: Medieval Jerusalem, Saracen Cities, Arabic Culture, East Land’ is like all the other ‘VR Travelling‘ series of interactive experiences. As with the others, there is no real educational material here, but I could see it being used in an educational setting. The graphics are a little basic, but you can still make out the more iconic structures and style that you would need to. This is not going to be for everyone and really should be free or as good as, but as I have already said, I can see the point of this if it was used in the right setting. Your average Steam VR user is not that setting.
