OVERVIEW – Take a Look at the Universe, Close Up

Have you ever wanted to really see what space looks like, up close and personal? Well OVERVIEW is a VR experience that puts the majesty at the cosmos within your grasp. Using data from NASA and other space agencies, OVERVIEW gives one of the most comprehensive, star gazing experiences you can have, right in your own home.

What is OVERVIEW?

Like programs such as Universe Sandbox and Universe Sandbox 2, OVERVIEW looks to give PC users a realistic view on the worlds beyond our world. What sets it apart is that this is completely VR experience, so you feel like you are genuinely floating adrift in space, marvelling at the majesty of creation. The program takes real life data from numerous space agencies and builds one of the most realistic representations of the solar system and beyond that has ever been seen.

Should you get OVERVIEW?

Obviously the audience for this program is going to be limited to those with access to the right technologies, but if you have that access then this is well worth your time. It’s relatively cheap, compared to some other VR experiences and the effort that has gone into it is clear to see.
