WebbVR: The James Webb Space Telescope Virtual Experience

A short interactive visual experience This is an interactive visual experience where you learn about the James Webb Space Telescope and see how it works up close. I recommend this to anyone looking to learn something new and enjoy a calm astronomy experience. Give this one a try 😊.

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.

amazing

Free, and they keep updating it - out of this world!

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 .
