Description: Immerse yourself in the world of Japanese space in VR for about 3 minutes. This is a doorway connecting familiar Japanese scenery (alley, subway corridor, Japanese-style room, and temple). There is not much interactivity, so you can’t grab things at the moment. Only teleportation move is supported. Enjoy a 3-minute walk in Japan!
Review: ‘VR JAPAN’ is a beautiful tour of a small space in Japan. It features a subway corridor, Japanese-style room, and temple as well as a few other thing. The quality of the graphics is pretty great and you could describe the whole environments as relaxing and meditative. Sadly it only lasts for 10 minutes max, making the £7.19 price tag seem unreasonable. Yes I liked it, yes it is well made. Sure, you can’t interact with anything, but you do get a good sense of what it would be like to be at those locations. If you see it for free, or as good as, I recommend you give it a look. But don’t pay much for it at all given the short length.
