Description: The First Class VR is an interactive experience that recreates historical moments of innovation throughout mankind’s journey of air and space exploration. Utilizing state of the art VR interactive gameplay, you will experience humanity’s journey to the stars – from the Wright brother’s legendary first flight to the development of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, and beyond to a technologically advanced distant future.
Our original design intention was to create the most immersive and lifelike environment possible by pushing the limits of virtual reality. We want to put players into those great moments that define human aviation history. The First Class pushes modern VR technologies to pay tribute to human innovation and historic scientific advancements. Our story was inspired by the Hugo Awards Best Novel Winner “The Three-Body Problem”, and we are very privileged to have had the author, Cixin Liu, both play and praise the finished game.
Review: While there isn’t much educational content to be found here ‘The First Class VR’ is a trip through time looking at some of the most significant moments in the history of aviation. From the first plane to the first rocket, there are 20+ events for you to enjoy as you zoom around and take in the sights and sounds. It does have to be said it looks amazing and at times oddly immersive given its lack of interactivity. I feel £5.19 is far too much given that the experience only lasts for about 15 minutes, but grab it in a sale for a quid or two and you will be in for a treat. Just a very short treat.
