Experience the International Space Station in VR with high-quality images and learn about the inner-workings of the Space Station from the European Space Agency's Samantha Cristoforetti, holder of the record for the longest uninterrupted spaceflight by a European astronaut.
The experience is educational and informative, providing insights into the life of astronauts aboard the ISS.
It's free to access, making it a worthwhile experience for those interested in space and science.
The videos narrated by astronauts add a personal touch and enhance the learning experience.
The game lacks true 3D immersion, relying heavily on low-resolution 360 images and videos, which can feel underwhelming in VR.
The scale of the ISS is poorly represented, making players feel disproportionately small and disconnected from the environment.
Navigation is limited to fixed locations with no real interactivity, which can lead to a boring experience.
