Our take on Apollo 11 VR
The presentation emphasizes historical immersion and inspirational music, while the interactive portion consists of a defined set of mission activities. Its documentary framing may set expectations for a broader simulation than the listed controls and locations provide.
What is Apollo 11 VR?
Apollo 11 VR recreates the mission from July 16 to July 24, 1969, using archival audio and video alongside virtual versions of spacecraft and locations.
It presents the journey as an interactive documentary in which players can pilot the command module, guide the lunar lander to the Moon, walk across the lunar surface, set up experiments, and return to Earth through re-entry. The experience focuses on the people and events of the Apollo program, with inspirational music accompanying the presentation. Oculus Rift users must select the alternate Rift launch mode before starting. The title is also available for arcades through SpringboardVR.
