Description: “Fantaventura” is an extraordinary fantasy island in the middle of the ocean. The sun is burning as you walk the beach and encounter dancing plants, colourful animals, and floating soap bubbles. Mysteriously, you are stranded on this island with the legendary German rap group DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER. In a hypnotic blend of volumetric video, animations, 360 video and interactive sound, their 1993 hit “Tag am Meer” (A Day at the Beach) becomes a new virtual reality. Relax, listen to the beats, and visit the worlds inside the bubbles by sticking your head in. Use the trigger on your controller to grab objects or to beam them towards you.
Review: While I am a fan of Euro-pop bands I am sure most people are not going to have heard of the German pop-rap group ‘Die Fantastischen Vier’. this app is an interactive music video based on their music and I have to say I enjoyed it a lot, but as I said I am a fan of their music anyway. It’s weird, fun and to be fair it looks pretty good most the time. Based on the fantasy island of FANTAVENTURA you will join the band as you have never seen them before, upfront and personal this 45-minute experience isn’t for everyone, but if you already like the band, it is well worth a go.
