Very bad resolution. it could have been interesting.Unfortunately, the resolution of the images is very bad, which prevents us from appreciating the monuments (I use a Meta Quest 2)
Loading, and then nothing happens.... Frustrating... the interface loads, but whenever selecting any of the chapters, the yellow "Loading...." message appears, then controls, but nothing plays.
The Longer I Watched the Better it got. Goofy graphics but I got into it more and more as it progressed as I love history and this was pretty well put together. You could tell that the guide was passionate and very knowledgeable about his subject at hand. Worth the price of admission but definitely could reach a wider audience with a graphics upgrade.
Good, but not great, but still great. The tour guide is pretty expansive in his knowledge and I would love to hear more about what he knows. You see the outside of the buildings and a semi brief(maybe 2-3 minute) history. I would have liked to seen the inside and a bit more to this but I guess thats what youtube can be for. Still pretty cool.
Great content and experience. Really a good teaser for what Venice is like. Keep it up. Would benefit from higher quality video, and more content. Overall very nice experience.
Great content, but needs higher quality. The devs have said in a comment they considered releasing a higher quality version at 100gbs, which I’d be more than happy to download and view as the current quality is far too low to really enjoy. Or maybe break it up into chapters?
For people with VR gaming PC's, 100gb is smaller than many games these days... please give us the option.
Either way it’s wonderfully produced and the content is great,, but the low quality ruins it to the point it’s borderline unwatchable, so they need to find a way to put out higher resolution clips. I’d happily pay for this.
As it stands, I'd not bother downloading this 20gigs worth of content.
Blurry AF. Bad VR video technically, but I liked the subject matter and the presenter seemed like a nice man. I couldn't look away from the lady in the blue dress at the fish market.
