Review: ‘Guildford Castle VR’ is a virtual tour of Guildford Castle located in Guildford, Surrey, England, UK. Made using a 3D scanning technique, it looks amazing and pretty much as real as it would be in real life. You get to move about using free motion or teleport and to be fair there is a good range of options to suit most people’s needs. While it isn’t the most in-depth tour it has still got more than enough content and voice narration to make it worth a download. It just lacks a little bit of more historical info and it could also do with more interactions. If you love visiting castles in real-life, you will definitely enjoy this.
