About The Lab
✦ AI summary
The Lab is a collection of bite-sized VR experiences ranging from physics-based destruction and archery defense to retro arcade action, educational space exploration, and fantasy shopping. Each mini-experience showcases different ways to interact with virtual worlds, from the intimate (repairing robots) to the expansive (exploring the solar system), all wrapped in Aperture Science's distinctive dark humor.
Set in a pocket universe of Aperture Science, The Lab offers a wide range of ways to enjoy VR, all in one application.
Slingshot
Begin your career as a Calibration Trainee by recklessly destroying everything in the Aperture Storage Annex using the Core Calibration slingshot.
Longbow
Use your archery skills to defend your noble castle gate from a rampaging but adorable and equally noble horde of attackers.
Xortex
Are you a bad enough dude to become a Xortex ace? Relive the golden era of gaming -- only this time, it's all around you.
Postcards
Visit exotic, far-off locales from the comfort of your own head.
Human Medical Scan
Explore the intricate beauty of the human body through a highly detailed model created from a series of CT medical scans.
Solar System
Why watch shows about the vast majesty of space when you can jump in and see it for yourself? Have educational space-fun while putting Neil Degrasse-Tyson out of business.
Robot Repair
Can you repair a robot? Good, because Aperture Science's Human Diversity Outreach Program is now hiring.
Secret Shop
The fantasy equivalent of a twenty-four-hour convenience store is now open for business! Peruse artifacts, shop for familiars and cast a spell or two at Dota's Secret Shop!

Valve has been in the VR game since the beginning, and they show it so well in each of their VR experiences, The Lab being among the best ever created. It's so simple and yet is incredibly effective in showing the effects VR can have on people. That full range of motion and interaction is just so unlike anything else, and The Lab shows that perfectly.
i love it and i play on quest 3s and for someresion it keeps crashing whenever i do the robot repair lvl but other than that its great
