ompeii is an experience allowing you to visit the most famous ruins of Pompeii, Italy. Feeling like you are really there, you can walk along one of Pompeii's main streets, visit the interior of an extraordinarily well preserved Roman house, experience the hustle and bustle of Pompeii's bars and shops, visit two beautiful Roman gardens, and finally get to experience what is was like bathing in a 2000 year old Roman bathhouse. This experience allows you to enter and explore Pompeii with an unrivaled freedom of movement. You can walk right up beautifully painted walls and mosaics which are cordoned off in real life. The experience contains a large source of highly entertaining narrative content, allowing one to really understand what living here as a Roman must have been like. In our view this is the closest thing you will ever get to feeling like you are in Pompeii without actually having to fly to Italy and be there yourself.
So much potential, but disappointing. I visited Pompeii in 2017 and it was the most amazing experience I have had travelling. When I saw this available I bought it and initially thought this was going to be great. The photography is top notch, visually this is gorgeous. The discussions regarding the rooms are interesting, though it is the visuals that I bought this to enjoy. The handsfree interface to move around is different. I don't know if I liked it or not. For me the real disappontment is that this covers such a small area within the ruins. What it covered is great, but there is too much left untouched. No Forum, no brothel, no amphitheatre, etc. I would have much prefered more photographic detail and less audio. Even text replacing audio if the audio is making the program too large to include other areas. This is basically sections of 3 streets including the baths, a house, some shops. When I toured it, the forum was what took my breath away. I hope in time a more complete virtual tour of Pompeii becomes available. It was a life changing experience.
Informative and educational. This is great. You get to go around part of Pompeii with photogrammetry and narration. I think this experience has a lot of educational value. Navigation is through gaze control, where you have to point your head towards markers, but it is possible to move around somewhat with roomscale.
Doesn't even install. I disabled, uninstalled any possible antivirus and selected every exclusion of the windows defender anti virus, yet it doesn't let me install and keeps repeating that my antivirus doesn't let me do it.Any other Oculus game...no problem. Only this one. So it's this game's issue
Interesting and educational . Great experience of a tour with a guide . Thoroughly enjoyed. Hope to see more of same to other historical tourist destinations.
It's ok for the price. 3D-scanned tour of Pompeii, through the baths, the House of the Small fountain and a part of the street (Via di Mercurio). Resolution was so-so, but was ok in the parts that really mattered (House of the Small Fountain). World scale was a bit off, which didnt help with immersion, but was still pretty ok. Navigation was really clumsy - narration tracks were linked with navigation, which meant that sometimes you'd be restarting the same track just to walk around/walk back. There are no additional pictures (e.g. virtual reconstruction, details of objects or fresco's etc.). Whole experience took about an hour. Not perfect, but for a couple of euro I'd say it's worth the price.
This could be so much better. It seems like they went to the trouble of 3D-scanning the location, but for some reason the image is not stereoscopic, has no depth, which I thought was the whole point of watching it in a VR headset. I'm a bit disappointed as I was hoping for something like the Nefertiti tomb exploration. If only people with knowledge and people with technical skills would come together, they could make the most inspiring and educative experiences ... I'll keep looking out for this kind of content though.
Nice Virtual Tour experience of Pompeii. This is a small virtual tour experience of Pompeii with audio. Telling some stories about the locations. Seems like it was their first project in this area. I paid 4 Euros for this experience. Price is ok for what you get. Would like to have seen more of Pompeii.
So many lengthy loading screens. This is just a 360 degree video VR experience where you float high above the streets with 2D static images of people and the ruins of Pompeii. You are pulled along with a slightly choppy frame rate by looking at green circles. These circles also provide informative conversations about each area. However, what ruined the immersion for me were the numerous lengthy and abrupt loading screens that seemed to be everywhere. This is something to experience maybe once, but most likely no more than that.
Worth the price of admission w/ 1 caveat. As one other user mentioned - while what is here is pretty awesome, there simply isn't enough of it. I'd pay for additional DLCs that covered more areas like the forum, brothels, waterfront, victims, etc.
One minor glitch - one of the narrators identified the 62 a.d. earthquake as 1962. Oops.
But having said that, this is still a worthy walk for those interested in such things. THe visuals and narration was great.
Makes You Want To Visit Pompeii. I just touched the surface. Not a lot of area open but enough to impress you and lots of talking about the areas that your in and life in Pompeii
AD 79 Not a very good year. 2020 a much better year. The is a very educational program (except for some of the vieled snarky political comments that take you out of the immersion) . The user interface quite frankly is especially pathetic, maybe not for AD 79 but for 2017 onward - not so good. The experience is still something to behold if your willing to suffer a bit and certainly not as much as the residents of this city in 79AD. That's right AD not CE.

Enjoyable and Detailed. まずは良いところから紹介します。楽しめるし、情報量も多い。コメントは、ストーリーを作ったり、見ているものを説明するのにとても役立ちます。ルーク・フェラーの名前を冠した作品に期待されるように、ディテールが非常に優れており、価格を考えれば買う価値があると思います。 唯一の難点は、歩行可能な環境を作るための新しい手法に比べて、使用されているVR手法が少し見劣りすることです。私が体験した遠近感は奇妙なもので、環境に合わない大きさを感じるというVRならではの経験がありました。もしあなたがVRを使った観光を楽しみ、google earthやwander、youtubeなどに時間を費やしているのであれば、これは時間を費やす価値があると思います。

Enjoyable and Detailed. I will start off with the good. It is enjoyable and informative. The comentary is really usefulfor creating the story and explaining what you are viewing. The detail is very high as I would expect from anything with Luke Ferrer's name attached and considering the price its certainly worth paying for. The only downside is that the VR method used is a little less impressive than some of the newer methods for creating a walkable environment. The perspective I had seemed strange and had that familiar VR experience of feeling the incorrect size for the environment. If you enjoy VR siteseeing and spend time on google earth, wander or youtube then this is certainly worth your time.
Thanks! Thank-you for this incredible experience. To anyone wondering, it's not just photographs, it's a complete scan of some of Pompeii which you can see from angles you wouldn't be able to in real life.
