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.

🔥Very good but very short
It’s not a game. Stop by our steam group (info below) and I can explain more. It’s basically a 360 degree 3D story. It requires zero controller/mouse/keyboard to play. It’s maybe 10 minutes long, and very polished. I would have loved it if it was a full game of sorts, or just a bit of interaction.

Horrible, 10 minutes of animation that is ok-ish, not worth 3.99 Pounds. I get that it is in memory of a friend, but there is no use to put it with such a price, not to say that it doesn’t even explain much, it’s bad. Don’t buy.

True Believer VR
Enter the world of Experience Marianas. This VR music experience takes you on a journey to a dreamlike world in space. Experience the song True Believer from the new rock musical by Rob Rokicki (The Lightning Thief, Monstersongs) & Sarah Beth Pfeifer (The Lightning Thief).
Experience Marianas is a wild Sapphic rock musical adventure about one woman’s journey to escape an oceanic cult. The piece is a high-octane darkly comedic examination of systems of control and how we struggle to define out identities within them.

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.

PT+
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?
– Real player with 12.4 hrs in game
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.

A VR concert with kawaii girls? Take my money!
I absolutely love VR concerts and I probably spend as much time in Hop, Step, Sing! songs and MocuMocuDance as I do playing VR games so I am a bit biased but this is fairly decent, IMO. The music is a little bit lower quality compared to HSS! but I do like the Vocaloid-like effect they’re using on the lyrics and I do like that there’s a karaoke mode, something I wish HSS! had (only English and Kanji, though, no Romaji). As for the visuals, again, it’s lower quality than HSS! but it’s still passable. You get to go on a mini trip through time with the girls and steal a fish ship. You don’t get to do that everyday.

Page One
A beach, a house, the howling rain and a mystery to uncover.
Page One is a throwback adventure taking its inspiration from such classic games as Zork: Grand Inquisitor and Myst. Each 360 degree environment is hand drawn with original audio, and as you navigate your way through the dark house, puzzles help you to uncover new locations and reveal the mysteries hidden within.
Playable in both desktop and VR, take control of the first chapter of this 360 degree adventure.
I’m a lone developer and for several years I’ve been working on a game and game engine that allows you to create VR/Desktop 360 adventures using your images, video and audio. To demonstrate this engine I’ve created Page One, a hand drawn and hand crafted game that puts you in the middle of a mystery of an old beach house that appears abandoned. What secrets does it have to reveal, who lives there and maybe the biggest question, why are you there to begin with?
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!

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.

Experience the Energy: Take the Tour
Experience the Energy: Take the Tour is a free VR experience about the Oil and natural gas industry in Canada. It worked on my system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. You can do this one sitting in center of your play area. The energy industry is funding this to recruit workers.
Try this, if you are interested in learning about the Oil industry.

Oddly I preferred this non-interactive video experience more than the interactive mini-game one. Mainly because they are both not very scintillating topics. I mean, it’s kind of interesting, but not like videos about jungle animals or cool space stuff. It’s the energy industry preaching to you. It has marvelous video quality though. It’s so high you can’t really tell if it’s monoscopic or not.
