My little friend I was having a tough time getting steam vr to work on my quest 3,but this app CNN vr and that cartoon app is what I played with to finally get it going. This my good luck charm. I want this app uploaded to Google earth vr, I'm not sure whether or not Google earth vr has real star locations so this + Google earth vr is the perfect combination

Игра «WebbVR: The James Webb Space Telescope Virtual Experience» — это увлекательное погружение в космос через виртуальную реальность. Пользователь становится частью миссии, изучая телескоп, его технологии и открытия. Визуальные эффекты поражают: звезды, галактики и детали телескопа представлены с высокой точностью. Интерактивность позволяет исследовать инструменты и наблюдать за процессом сборки спектрографа. Образовательный аспект выделяется — даже новички поймут сложные концепции. Однако VR-формат требует соответствующего оборудования. Отличный выбор для любителей астрономии и тех, кто хочет ощутить себя частью научной экспедиции.

It's alright, but it has flawed controls and other issues. You cannot snap-turn, so doing this in a sitting position is annoying. The scale of the JWT also feels off (this includes even stuff like the car model which is used for scale), but that might just be an issue on my end. There's plenty of educational content here, but the voiceover is extremely quiet for some reason. There's also a strange lack of detail in the explanations of what the different parts of the JWT are, like what the 4 science tools on the cold side actually are, what they do, etc. Maybe I am just blind, but idk. When exploring planets, the voice over gets cutoff annoyingly, or doesn't trigger when teleporting to the moons from the menu. The haptic feedback/rumble tends to get stuck on when flying around. The rendering is also not very impressive, but I can understand that this is a free experience, probably made by a small team and probably had to support stuff like mobile devices as well.

Works on vive pro 2 with wands. Looks great. The new webb discovery content is on the travel page under the solar system's planets .

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
