Horizon Of History

It is very interesting how VR can be used for education, especialy in areas as deep and complicated as history. Horizon of History allowed me to learn and understand the complicated history of Warsaw in a very cool and immersive way. It's not a game - it's more like an interactive history lesson. I wish there was an experience like this for every city. I'm glad that Vive can be used for more than just gaming.

I enjoyed this and found it a good attempt at teaching history through VR. The surrounding countryside needed to be of a much higher-resolution to "feel" right, as if I was on a platform looking out over the landscape. It would have been nice to be able to get down to street level during the history lessons. The final scene/lesson was quite moving. Overall a nice initial example of history in VR.

Obviously a another rushed VR experience. It had potential, I can see what they wanted to do but it falls much too short to be worth buying. Pros: - If you really like history and can tolerate monotone narrators then you may have some enjoyment. Cons: - Mind numbing, monotone narrator… - Environment rendering is so low rez, you can’t really see much. It’s just a badly done CG rendering onto a sphere. - The small number of interactable items are so useless and not engaging at all. - There isn’t even a tower beneath you, you’re just floating on this platform that appears miles above the ground.
