This is the greatest VR experience to date. Amazing, immersive, informative. I watched the first chapter out of curiosity and found myself watching the whole thing. I'm now annoying the crap out of everyone telling them to watch this. The elderly rellies have also been gobsmacked by it. Do yourself a favour and grab this. I picked it up on special and I almost feel guilty that something as well crafted as this was available at such a low price. This is a must-have in anyone's collection, worthy at whatever price its on sale for. Congrats to the devs ... this is a work of art.

HP Reverb G2 VR headset, GTX1080Ti. Initial setup did not present problems. Set for ULTRA and major graphic problems near the end of the journey. Need to wind back the graphics setting and try again. FIRST PLAY THROUGH: I sat down to be entertained and guided through a journey of the Universe... The first two chapters I had to turn my head left 120° while sitting and lean back to even see what was supposed to be the center of attention about 1 centimeter from my virtual nose! Next chapter was sufferable in that the center of attention was 45° to my right. The next chapters I could not even see what was being described with doing an "OWL" Yeah, nice concept but needs A LOT OF WORK.

Very cool VR experience. Gives you a tour of the solar system and a bit more. I wish it was longer, but it is incredibly cool if you're a space geek.

Completely unplayable with my WMR headset. Keeps showing vive controller layouts that just dont match my actual controllers.

This experience has so much potential, but it looks extremely bad. The milkyway and the local group looks like 1990s sprites attached to an invisible surface. Everything looks so... flat. The perspective makes every object feel like a toy in a sandbox. There is no feeling of being small, no awesome moment. I saw Let's Plays which showed free roam around the milkyway. Moving on the surface of a near planet. But where is everything? I have the feeling of playing VR Regatta: 3 crappy islands, and everything you see in the beginning is everything you can reach at the end. To cut a long story short: You can zoom in, and you can zoom out. That's it. Movement in the solar system? Yes. But why? As soon as you approach a planet, it creates a kind of instance with a fixed scale, without the opportunity to move close to a moon... because it's too small compared with the planet. If you zoom in, your eyes cannot focus it. The first 2 videos you can watch on the shop site, show the whole experience. I purchased the app on sale (70% off), but I will ask for a refund.
