This is a nice "visit the planets" kind of experience. You do get to see some details about the planet and moons and some probes. The graphics were nice and there was a nice futuristic feel to it with your travel pod and controls. I had two main gripes about it though: 1. I wish the female voice read the fact sheets out loud but she doesn't. 2. I wish we could have visited all the major moons and other objects up close. This was a good VR experience and what was done was done pretty well but it was skimpy on content and places to travel. I am going to give it a thumbs up because it is a nice quick tour and good for the kids to do and even teachers use for their class. But I will say this is not worth more than $5 tops. The price needs to come down in my opinion or add more places to travel: moons;asteroid belts;pluto and its known neighbors; a view from voyager of the solar system.Recent first play video here:https://youtu.be/CzVug9B7CMc. I recently got a Vive for cheap. And while I am still not quite convinced by the the whole VR trend, this little gem is giving me some hope. It feels like VR exists to bring experiences like these to life and it is also a great showcase for what can be the competetive advantage for the VR experience in the future. It is hard to explain the sensation when you enter the lobby, hear the subtle humming in the background and marvel at the futuristic aesthetics. It truly makes you feel like a highly sophisticated space explorer about the begin your first stroll into the endless depths of space. And since watching the new "Cosmos" documentary by Neil deGrasse Tyson (highly recommended on netflix!) I have been longing for a sensation like this. It might not be 100% the same experience as gliding through space yourself, but until we can book our own real space vacation I feel like this is the next best thing.Of course if you want to play some high octane wave shooter or surreal experience like Rez, then this is not the game for you. Spacetours' strength is its atmosphere and immersion. Something that it exceeds at. And to be honest: with the heavy workload these days and daily life that is accelerating more and more, this actually suits me.All in all: Keep it coming! Stuff like this will keep me occupied in short bursts until I can get my hands on the Vive version of Resident Evil in 2018. Here's hoping! And even then I am sure that I will keep an eye on future episodes of Spacetours.. I recently got a Vive for cheap.

I'v encountered a problem in several games, most recently THIS GAME..... The problem is that I am handicaped and confined to a chair. When I run this game I find myself in a non playable position with no way to move using the controllers. When I spent the money to move up to VR, I had hopes of experiencing things, like this game, even though I could not physically be present. Most of the VR games I have used expext me to be able to move physically (I.E. HEAD. HANDS) instead of providing controller, or keyboard, interface for movement.Hope this helps to make your product more successful, PS.. why not start a "HANDICAP ACCESABLE" label for your tours once they are fixed. I would be happy to serve as a product tester\/representative for handicaped VR users.Rev. Gary Utz (retired). Was really hoping this would be a great showcase demo of the vive and decided to pick it up. Bad idea.I have a 1080 and the game lags even with no SS on. It also has no graphics settings which you can adjust. And the best part is it is not even that graphically good, the planets are washed out and not impressive at all.I hope the devs see this and adress the issues.. I was a disappointed with this Space Tour showcase and actually thought that maybe some of its features weren't actually working for me but no, it operates as intended.Good:-Good visuals and sound effects-Has the wow factor when the ship walls dematerialiseBad:-Control system is confusing, buttoms on the control panel don't actually have any function, other functions like toggling ship visibility seems to operate at random.-NO INFO about planets, moons, satellites at all, not even a label, save the title of the planet on the control panel!!??-No ability to fly around the chosen planet, you're just parked in orbit in a spaceship\/platform with no movement controls!?-Help menu says laserpointer triggers 'Events' I've yet to see or hear any event; it wouldn't be hard to add more information to make this app informative and more fulfilling - its almost there developer.

I very much like this!What you do yourself in this VR experience is straightforward - you select a planet and travel to it in your pod. On arrival you can either stick your head out the window to view the massive planet (ever seen a dog stick it's head out of a car window - yeah, that'scwhat you'll feel or look like in VR) or you can select for the pod walls to withdraw into a small circular platform which allows you to view 360. Of course, the purpose of the program is to travel and view the planets and wow - superb! The imagery on the planets is awesome - IMO really high standard. To view the different planets of the Solar System involves pointing to a planet, sucking it in with the laser pointer and inserting the planet into a sort of capsule holder, hold the poles to activate hyperspace travel - and off you go in style! If you like using Google Earth to view Earth zoomed out in Space then you'll really enjoy exploring the Solar System planets with this. It goes without saying you can't actually go into the atmosphere of the planets as the Google Street View cars haven't mapped them yet!The audio is perfect - even the planet destination announcer woman sounds perfectly suited to her task - the ambience the audio generates is just right.I've tried Universe Sandbox on the Vive - it was alright, and it was just alright for me because it didn't make me stop and go 'wow'! This ain't a game - it's a Spacetour where you travel and view a planet from a close distance whilst still in Space - one of those programs that you observe the grandeur of Space and just go off in a little wonder - clearly a labour of love! This is ep1 - I'm very interested where we're going with ep2?? Anyway - recommended!
