About ObserVRtarium
The ObserVRtarium is an interactive, room-scale VR, virtual museum experience. Go beyond the glass and get up close with a collection of amazing past and present space artefacts including the Soyuz, ISS, Saturn V, Apollo LEM and Apollo LRV. Using your VR controllers you can manipulate the objects to get a perfect view of every detail. Once you’ve explored the models you can teleport to the objects around the room which are created at an accurate human scale so you can get a real sense of what it is like to stand at the foot of the epic Saturn V rocket that took humans to the Moon and how the Soyuz craft which takes 3 Astronauts at a time plus supplies to the ISS is maybe smaller than you thought!
The experience is suitable for home VR users and we also encourage museums and attractions who want to experiment with room-scale VR but are struggling to find appropriate educational material to give it a try.
Check out our early access details to read more about what we have planned in the future, this is just the start of building our virtual museum and we want to know what you want to see in it. We are actively looking for museum and science centre partners who are interested in finding ways to digitise and explore their collections in VR.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the impressive visual presentation and immersive VR experience, particularly praising the detailed spacecraft models and awe-inspiring atmosphere for space enthusiasts. However, critics point out that the project lacks meaningful gameplay mechanics and interactive elements, functioning more as a static museum exhibit than an actual game, with concerns about its abandoned development state and limited content.
Игра 'ObserVRtarium' — увлекательный VR-проект для любителей астрономии. Погружение в виртуальную обсерваторию оставляет яркое впечатление: живописные пейзажи, детализированные модели небесных тел и интуитивное управление. Однако технические недостатки (частые лаги, нестабильная физика) снижают комфорт. Игровой процесс требует времени на освоение механик, но для фанатов космоса это стоит. Рекомендую для энтузиастов, но новичкам может показаться сложной.

ObserVRtarium is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, ObserVRtarium is a software application that displays a virtual space museum in VR, that's it. It's not even complete, the developers walked away from this almost 8 years ago after they discovered only 5 concurrent users even bothered to try this, and that only happened once. This is abandoned non-game garbage polluting Steam. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive fe…
If you own a VR headset, this title is a must. The feeling of awe when standing under the Saturn 5 is incredible even if you are in a simulation

Extremely small and not very informative spacecraft museum, but life-size 3D models look impressive.
