Short but I like VR travel! 👉webnetka*com 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 metaquest*forumactif*com👈 If you like virtual environments, if that's also part of what brought you to VR (traveling without moving from home, observing the world), then I guess you have to buy "OtherSight" It is between a "Brink traveler" (many different sites but little text and interaction) and a "National Geographic Explore VR" (visit and explanations) It is also completely urban and culture oriented compared to Brink which only shows natural landscapes (and NGeographic=between the 2)
You can walk around the sites (unlike Brink which is almost static), interact with objects, listen to information about the places.
In the 3 apps, the defect is that we always remain unsatisfied: we would really like more, but I suppose that if these applications with realistic photo environment do not flourish, it is because it remains expensive and/or long to produce (or niche market, in which case, you have every interest in encouraging these apps if you want to have more)
A little surprise on several sites of Othersite with fabrics that have a nice physics
But in any case, these apps will have their little "wow" effect if shown in demo to people who don't know VR
if you want fun, games, or apps where you're going to spend hours, go your way if you want to encourage these virtual travel apps or take advantage of their wow effect, then Othersite may be of interest to you ================================== Pour échanger vos expériences et vos avis: 👉 metaquest*forumactif*com 👈 Pour les promos quest : 👉 webnetka*com 👈
Short but sweet sad that there is no mor. There isn't lot and it's sad that there is no work done because so many potential but what there is i love it so just remember that its short but nice 4/5
Other Site. I think it has lots of possibilities but isn’t there yet. The 3 sites are well done, and I appreciate the explanations. I hope there are many more coming.
Good but very limited content. There are only 4 sites, I bought it a while back and they were promising more but none have come. The photogrammetry is good, not great (lots of artifacts). It’s cool as a demo but not much more at this point. Blink is a better app for this kind of experience (Blink has it easier as you’re much less likely to notice issues given they stick to outdoors in nature, and they limit your freedom of movement more).
Not enough other sites. I used another app that travels everywhere but it disappeared. I think it was in Explore, so now I rarely use the unit at all. Too bad.
Cool but lacking content. It's amazing visiting locations in 6DoF instead of the usual 3DoF and being about to interact with objects modelled in 3D. Would be nice if there is more customization for full locomotion such as walk speed. Still waiting for more locations to be added.
Visit the world. It's kinda cool to be able to visit a museum or a church somewhere in the world without the need to get out of the house. The world of photogrammetry is pretty great to create things like these in VR (Also been working with it at university) and I know it's definitely not an easy job to get every texture in the correct way. Ofcourse you can see there are some rough edges that could have been done a bit better. But it all depends on the location I guess. The church for example looks awesome, the Havana street didn't really impress me...It did feel a bit empty. But the clothes.....wow. How the fabric moves and flows. Just impressing! Great job on that! I do miss haptics when you touch something. It would have been a nice extra. For now it's only 4 locations but each location has a guide that tells you about the places you visit, so it almost feels like a real trip to the museum. Hopefully we'll see some more locations added to the experience.... because for now it's kinda short. Looks great for what it is at the moment....but because of the lack in locations I'll give it 4* for now. Preferably I'd love to see some more indoor locations like other museums or something like the inside of a casa in Seville for example.
well-made with excellent photogrammetry. I wanted to give it 4 stars, because it's very well made and offers really interesting, off-the-beaten-track locations and information, but currently, you can only visit 4 spots. Brink offers 3 times as much, and although the developers of OtherSight are promising that "more locations will come" (I sure hope so!), we all know that this promise is often not kept. What's the difference with Brink (besides the number of locations)? First of all, OtherSight wants to show the virtual traveller something other than the very famous tourist locations. It wants to take you to smaller places which are less touristic, but which are very interesting nevertheless. There's a bit more focus on art and culture (while Brink is all about spectacular nature and famous landscapes). The locations are narrated by local people (although you can't really hear them well because while they're talking, it's simultaneously translated in English) and these 'local guides' give you some insight or background information about the spot, or about objects in that spot (other times, it's just text), or about the person that lived/worked there. The visual level of detail is usually impressive, although I saw some parts in (very) low-res (paintings or posters on a wall). But, all in all, I felt very immersed and learned a few new interesting spots and things about it. A good title to show to friends and family, especially when they ask if VR is only for games. ;). Conclusion: a very nice app if you like exploring or if you love art/culture, but currently a high price considering that only 4 spots can be visited.
Closest thing to real travel in VR. **Before you start, UPDATE YOUR QUEST. It won't work unless you update.**
Used this app for only a short while before quitting to write this review. If your favorite parts of travel are art and culture, you need this app. It feels as though you've wandered away from the big tourist areas to find those local surprises that make the trip.
The first location is like visiting a gallery with a private tour, but you can touch stuff, examine it, and not be arrested. Various objects also have audio info, and the graphics are astounding.
I love museums, and I'd swear I visited a new one today. After years of the pandemic, it's very welcome.
I've tried just the one location so far, but I can only assume they're all filled with as much careful detail.
Other Sightでは、各場所にあるいくつかのアイテムにインタラクティブ性を持たせていますが、そのインタラクティブ性はかなり一般的なものであることが多いようです。 いくつかのアイテムを拾って見ることができますが、多くはまったくインタラクティブではなく、一部はそれに関する音声ナレーションをトリガーします。 ランダムなオブジェクトを拾えるのは楽しいが、そのほとんどが一般的なもので、モデルやテクスチャのクオリティも低い（日本のビール瓶はドリームキャストの「シェンムー」から持ってきたようだった）ので、体験に大きなプラスにはなっていない。
A nice experience but underwhelming. As others have noted here is a similarity between this and Brink in that they are photogrammetry travel apps. However this one has a distinctly different flavor more along the lines of taking a tour of a place rather than a few point of interest postcards per local.
While Brink focuses on the majesty of nature, Other Sight focuses on man made points of interest. This seems to tax the photogrammetry style of the app as the complex items you get up close to really show the low image quality nature of the world you are surrounded in. Unlike Brink which looks really good even when you do get up close to something, Other Sites locals put you up close to things on a regular basis but they have the weird "faux 3d" feel that Apple or Google maps gets when they try to make 3d out of satellite pictures. Everything has a weird low polygon pillow feel to it and the textures up close are almost all slightly off or warped in some way.
Other Sight offers a level of interactivity with some of the items in each location but that interaction is often pretty generic. You can pick up some items and look at them, but many aren't interactive at all while some do trigger a voice narration about it. It's fun to be able to pick up random objects but between the generic nature of most of them and the low quality models and textures (beer bottles in Japan looked like they came from Shenmu on Dreamcast) it doesn't add a lot to the experience.
Overall I think they are doing a good job with what they have hardware wise but it goes to show how hard it is to get complex up close photogrammetry running on the Quest.
I feel 3 stars is fair for people who are interested in this and want the experience more than they care about graphics or quantity (since there are only 4 locations at the moment). I feel it's a little overpriced for it's current content. If they release at least 4 more areas for free then it will justify it's price but as is I say it's more a $10 game.
Well, that was certainly....expemsive. Um, well, it’s a promising beginning. But it’s seriously overpriced. I do like that they chose some unusual places to “explore” but the interactivity is barely there and mostly meaningless (pick up an old gameboy toy? Pick up a helmet?). The human guides look surprisingly good, for as long they last (they’re very shy...they disappear if you come within two meters of them). And there”s almost no audio integration. Walking around a large stone church, everything sounds essentially the same as being next to an old air conditioner in urban Japan.
Hopefully, this is merely the very early stages for this app...and of this means of weaving digital imaging into VR. Right now, unless you have money to burn, I’d probably wait for updated versions. (Of course, if you have a specific desire, for whatever reason, to visit a few yards of messy back alleys in Tokyo, then by all means, go for it.) Huge potential, way overpriced.
Disapointing. After paying almost 20 bucks encouraged by all great reviews I read, I had great expectations, In a few words, my experience was like playing the app for firsts steps in oculus. Maybe this was intended for educational purposes, but at last, I prefer watching free videos in oculus. There are only 4 scenes availables, and you finish playing all in about 15 minutes. Also you cannot change or disable language translation.
Virtual Travel, Real Experience. This is really something special. Or it’s going to be. I bought this for the yearning to try something new and it delivered an experience like nothing else. I tried Brink and that was lame. I use Wander and that’s okay for what is really is. But this- WOW. I won’t go on and on but I will tell you this- the Tokyo experience made the hair on my arms and neck stand up so hard I thought I was going to pass out. Not JUST while I was playing but while telling my wife about it 30 min later. When I picked up the shirt… I felt so connected to the location that I felt like I had been teleported and I couldn’t reconcile what I was seeing and feeling vs what I knew to be true. It was like nothing I’ve done in VR before. The back alleys and barrage of “stuff” everywhere was just stunning and I would humbly ask “more like that- please!” That will sell VR headsets. And if they continue to refine the quality… all the better. However- the Cuban street or whatever was junk. Don’t even bother to download it. It really brings the whole product experience down a whole star. There’s nothing nice to look at and the car models are pointless and low quality. Seriously- the whole level should be deleted from the menu because it really brings the package down. The other areas (even the “home menu” are excellent and offer their own special something. The cathedral is a bit dull when you first enter but there are spots there that excel (the quality of that lute is amazing!) As of now- I’m not really sure if I’ll keep the app because it doesn’t offer enough for the price- but I know more is coming so it may be an instance of “I’ll come back to it when there’s more” but I may end up keeping it just to wander around the back alley of Tokyo and show that to everyone I know! For the developers- the app works best at being something special when there’s LOTS of stuff around and it’s interestingly lit. The more busy the less you notice the low quality textures overall and that really works in balance on the Quest2. Do more areas that fill your vision every step and less wide open spaces that don’t give a sense of physicality. And how do you turn off the orange highlights and interrupting menus??
