What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Virtual Reality Experiment Framework is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. This software application is, well, as it says on the box, a framework for academic research and not a real game. You just look around some Unity Asset flipped environments (oops, did we just take someone else's work and put our own name on it? You know what academic institutes do to people who steal the work of others and plagiarize???) and then answer some questions. 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. …3 found this helpful
Virtual Reality Experiment Framework is a free VR program that gathers VR experiments into one launcher. It worked on my system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. You the player are playing VR experiences and then answering questions about your experience to provide data for scientists. Try it, if you like to be a subject in an experiment.2 found this helpful
Well, I know how experiments can be boring for academic researches, but for experiment, the software should be actually do what it supposed to do. It was almost impossible to finish tutorial because I couldn't reach the right spot. Pointer was completly broken, and I could never point at. During the experiment the teleporter was almost always broken. I could teleport only 40% times correctly as I expected. Otherwise, I couldn't point at any position at all. Also it was impossible to perform the moving action, since it had 50% chance to ignore my action. Handling those errors I spent most of the time. I found my tasks but I couldn't reach the spot at all. I spend few minites to arrive there, and I eventually failed. If the experiment is about anything else than how users will be annoyed with broken software, it should work much better. Also letters are sometimes very difficult to read in HTC VIVE, so it should be bigger, and moving with touchpad at the end is very hidden. Drawing with pen should be easier, for instance, pen should not move through the white board. It is indeed interesting approach, and I like new tries, but this is simply too broken to get any meaningful dataset i…2 found this helpful
Игра «Virtual Reality Experiment Framework» — это не развлечение, а инструмент для создания VR-экспериментов. Платформа предлагает гибкий интерфейс для моделирования сценариев, анализа поведения и тестирования гипотез. Удобный API и возможность интеграции с научными инструментами делают её ценной для исследований. Однако отсутствие готовых сценариев и сложность настройки могут отпугнуть новичков. Подходит для специалистов, но требует технических навыков.
This is pretty garbage, dont get it
