Incredible attention to detail in the photogrammetry, allowing users to closely examine artwork and historical artifacts.
Offers a rich educational experience with informative narration and descriptions of the palace and its contents.
Free to access, making it an excellent opportunity for history enthusiasts and those unable to visit in person.

The experience suffers from technical issues, including bugs, poor controller compatibility, and low-resolution textures.
Limited locomotion options, with only teleportation available, which can break immersion and lead to discomfort for some users.
The app lacks polish, with many areas appearing unfinished and a confusing control scheme that detracts from the overall experience.

The graphics in the game are a mixed bag, featuring stunning high-resolution artwork and impressive photogrammetry visuals that can be explored in detail, but they also suffer from inconsistent quality and performance issues, such as texture reloading and a problematic control scheme. While the visual fidelity can enhance the educational experience, it requires significant hardware resources, and some users noted that the graphics settings need to be adjusted for optimal performance. Overall, the visuals provide a rich experience, but they are not without their flaws.
- “There is an immense amount of data with all the photogrammetry scans and artwork scans, each with a description.”
- “A rich experience with a stunning amount of high-resolution artwork to explore and study up close in great detail, each with its own description.”
- “Additionally, the experience contains highly detailed recreations of famous artwork of the palace, which you can manipulate and twist and zoom in if needed, along with educational notes on each of them and on the rooms.”
- “Hogs a ton of memory and graphic card performance but no display.”
- “Photogrammetry visuals that look absolutely horrible at times.”
- “Graphics are a bit odd at times given that the game is reloading textures outside of frame, which I don't recommend for future titles.”

- “There is a lot of well-executed photogrammetry here, and a pleasing soundtrack.”
- “There is nice music, and good narration, with info about many pieces of art and furniture.”
- “I do wish there was an option to switch on and listen to music (Lully would have been an excellent choice in my opinion to put one in the mood) while touring, but this is an excellent experience as it stands and there are only a handful like it.”
- “It shows a black screen and eventually plays some music, but I never get any further.”
- “Why interrupt the music when I look at a painting?”
- “Music and sound cut out when you look at an art piece; the music and narration stop.”
