Description: VR Austria is a stereoscopic virtual reality app, that offers you a look at Austria – as if you were there, on a typical summer’s day. Visit beautiful locations that can be dynamically switched between, just by looking. We’re proud to share the natural beauty and splendour of Austria’s landscapes with you, as well as the architecture – both historic and modern. From mountaintops to cathedrals, we want to give you an opportunity to experience Austria firsthand. This is why we opted for a stereoscopic filming technique. The complexity of the recording only serves to increase the realism of the final videos.
Review: Personally, I like these virtual tours and VR Austria is well worth a look if you enjoy them as well. While it does have to be said 4K is still not great it is good enough to get a good gist of what the locations are like in terms of colour and vibrancy. There are loads of locations and while the videos loop after about 10 seconds I did enjoy travelling around. OK, so it’s little more than a virtual tour brochure, but one well worth a look if you have any interest in travelling to Austria.
