Flow

Flow

Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2

So this is yet another meditation app for VR. This one uses short looping stereoscopic 360 videos. Unfortunately, this means there are no interactions and you’re only using your motion controllers to select items from the menu.

This is free at the moment with several meditations to enjoy, from calm to focused to more intense. You can also buy some DLC. However, there’s mention of a registration and subscription plan in the future. I’m not sure this experience is premium enough to warrant that, of course, Flow EHF is free to do whatever they want to monetize their product. I just don’t think it would be successful.

Flow is not a game. It’s a bunch of VR videos and some hippy soundtracks to aid in meditation. There’s no gameplay loops, there’s no gameplay or meaningful interaction.

It’s intended to be a paid/subscription kind of service but seems to have been abandoned prior to that. That doesn’t stop the developers trying to scam the hippies for this non-game, there’s a whopping $20 worth of predatory DLC.

To paraphrase PT Barnam, there’s a hippy born every minute, and two to take ‘em.

Anyway, this is not a game, despite being erroneously published as a game, cannot be recommended as one.

After too long in front of the computer screen, it’s time to switch on the VR and refurb the neck with PT+. I can really tell how much this helps. Are you people with “cell phone posture” listening?

This is an incredibly simple, yet effective application to help you stretch your neck. Perfect for anyone spending long periods of time at a computer.

Note: Not to be confused with a similarly named reboot of a dead franchise.

Solar System VR

Solar System VR

Have you ever dreamed of plowing the vastness of space, studying its secrets and discovering many unexplored corners of our infinitely large universe. “Then this game is for you” - I would like to say. Of course, you won’t get this level of gameplay, but don’t immediately give up on this game. First of all, I would like to clarify that this is a VR game, which means that we are provided with partial immersion in the atomic sphere of space. The gameplay here is not particularly pleasing, although it should be said that we are dealing with a VR movie rather than a game. The plot is a tour of space. The presentation is good and the listening is really interesting. The only thing I want to note is the duration. Here it is so small that you will have time to fully familiarize yourself with the game and have time to get your money back. Otherwise, this game, or rather the film, is very good. Total - 8.3 / 10

Ok, I get most of the various Space / Solar System programs that i see. They are all offering something a bit different but this is the first time my jaw dropped. This was really quick, yes, and easily could have been 2-3x longer and still short. But this program was less focused on education and more on a space roller coaster ride and it is COOL AF. Unless you cant afford pocket change (yet somehow still have VR and a really good PC), it is well worth the price of a Coffee and Bagel regardless of its length.

Dolphin Trainer VR

Step 1: Complete a Bachelor’s Degree Program

Take a quick course, learn how aquatic animals behave. Get the necessary knowledge to make them co-work with you and even to talk to them!

Step 2: Earn Scuba Certification

Diving is essential when working with dolphins. Go through training. Learn to use diving equipment in the pool and open waters. Get a diver certificate!

Step 3: Time for practice

You passed the training, you have a diver’s certificate, so it’s time to practice. You start work alone with dolphins. For starters, simple work: feeding, washing, care, and some fun.

Step 4: Gain Work Experience

Welcome to the position of the trainer. The first big order - train our dolphins for a big party that’s ahead of us. You need to prepare dolphins for the show. There are many tricks to master.

Step 5: Rebell and free the dolphins

Taking captive wild animals, especially so intelligent ones, is not a good thing. You knew that from the beginning. You know how to talk to them, you know the topography of the terrain, it’s time to free the dolphins. Let them come back to nature!

RC Flight Simulator 2020 VR

RC Flight Simulator 2020 VR

The video for this game made it look more detailed than it really is, The plane operation and flying is pretty good , but the helicopter and quadcopter flying defintely needs an update to make the movements more fluid, they feel like they are models just moving about in the air and don’t seem to follow any aero dynamics rules and I’ve flown quite a few real ones to know how it should feel. It also give the impression in one video that your place might be up on the frame for erm? modification fixing I guess but nothing like that is possible in the game. You start on the runay so theres no taxi to the runway etc. The jets are pretty slow also so don’t get too exicited waiting to unlock those. Here’s hoping for an update soon and despite the shortfalls I’m a hopeful fan.

Real player with 3.6 hrs in game

Very enjoyable so far! Always wanted a real RC plane but never had the time but this is a great option. Lots of aircraft to unlock with flight time, can’t wait to get to the jets!

I’m sure the physics can be worked on and I suspect the devs will update in the future. if you’re looking for an ultra realistic sim this might not be for you at the moment so you’d have to pay £100 for RealFlight.

If you’re after a bit of fun, this is excellent!

Virtual Home Theater Video Player

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review yet. As you see from my over 300 hours of usage that I use this exclusively. I purchased this when it was more expensive and never regretted it. I never got it for the audio aspect although it is impressive. I got it for the 3D movie playback. The MAIN thing that drove my interest is that I did not have to use my controllers at all. I could do everything I wanted with the mouse. Trust me this is way more relaxing. I have had many many email conversations with Aurel the developer about features and getting help. I don’t think it is possible to get someone nicer and more hard working. I have had a number of suggestions that without hesitation were implemented in updates. I know there are more things to come as well so if you are on the fence, get this and you won’t be sorry

The only app that can play non head locked surround sound video with hardware decoded video, i tested it against all other players (deovr, whirligig, big screen etc), only virtual desktop come close (with it’s virtual sound drivers enabled), but still not as good, lots of parameters in VHT that you can adjust to your own like.

Of course the complicated and let’s be honest, rather ugly, GUI is the draw back. I would love the 3D model cinema enviroment (best ones are those in virtual desktop workshop),

Lionfish Reef Patrol

This is possibly the greatest game on steam.

This was actually an interesting wee experience to play. Difficult to start with but found it easier as I played more. I would like to see more levels in the future with some more in the way of marine life. However I realise that this game is more about awareness of the destruction of our reefs and after playing I checked out the website and read up on how destructive Lionfish actually are. Really cool effort from Scott Gonnello and VidasGames (Usually see Horror games from Vidas but good to see him branching out). I would recommend anyone playing this to check out the website for more info and remember that it is informative experience and not a shoot em up!!

animARide

animARide

AnimARide software allows users to upgrade any real-life captured panoramic video into an AR animated experience by using motion file from the video to animate different 3D elements inside the movie. Choose from a wide range of animARide’s pre-installed cockpits and set up individual motion characteristics such as incline of the cockpit, shake intensity, shadow positioning, and a lot more, to create your own AR animated experiences.

AR content production has never been so simple as with our unique technology. AnimARide animates different elements inside the video including the chosen cockpit, speedometer and tachometer, steering wheel and joystick, transmission stick, and a lot more. No manual animation needed.

Create new Supercar or Space Bike adventures using your own panoramic videos.

Upgrade your panoramic video with 3D augmented reality elements animated with animARide software.

Enjoy the highest video quality with resolution up to 8K, 60fps using animARide’s player that is optimized for GPU rendering.

Are you a motion simulator user? Just install our plugin and animARide will work as a 5D cinema with your motion seat. animARide synchronously transfers 6DOF data to SimTools at 100Hz.

How it works:

  • Capture any video using a panoramic camera.

  • In case you have GoPro Fusion or GoPro MAX, just record the video. For all other types of cameras, use iOS app animARide MVC , to record the motion together with the video.

  • Export the video as a mp4 file, H.265(HEVC) preferred.

  • Get motion data from your raw GoPro movie file using our Parser & Editor application. Save as a separate .4dr file.

  • The movie file in .mp4 and the motion file in .4dr should have the same name and should be located in the same folder.

  • Upload movie file in animARide and run.

  • Adjust cockpit position using sliders.

  • Adjust sun direction and intensity for correct rays and shadows.

  • Adjust motion and shake intensity.

  • Adjust rendering quality, depending on GPU power level.

  • If desired, you can save your individual settings for the ride into a separate .INI file.

  • Choose your role in the car: a driver or a passenger with professional driver.

  • Choose between 6 Supercar cockpits or 5 Space Bikes, while running the video.

  • Record upgraded adventure into a 4K resolution 16:9 video file that is ready for sharing.

Software has been tested with Oculus Rift CV1, HTC Vive Pro, Samsung Odyssey +, PiMax 5K +, PiMax 8K, desktop non VR and is suitable for all of the above.

Works with any kind of input control: keyboard and mouse, VR controllers. Customizable controller and keyboard hotkeys.

Poor reputation. How can I just see the buttons if their position is more than the maximum screen resolution? And the gameplay and controls are so horrible that I have to quit the game instead of respawning the car.

This is a very bad billiards game. There are a large number of bugs in this game. You can’t even quit the game normally. You can only use Alt + F4. And one achievement is broken. I bet even if Judd Trump come to play this game, he would cry and go back to find his mother.

It’s time to uninstall.
