This is far more interesting than the usual free VR offerings on Steam. Some really impressive visuals and the birds eye view videos of South Dakota were really stunning. It showed me a fascinating world that I never knew about and you really can't ask for more than that from a free VR app. The lack of r-stick directional controller movement is a bit of a drag but when something is this neat and costs zero dollars, it's an easy thing to overlook.
[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2[/h1] This is an educational tour of the Sanford Rsearch Lab and Wind Cave. This experience is running on the Unity Engine. It is about 10 GB total of install space. You fly around by pressing trigger. You see 360 stereoscopic video of the facility. The video renders well, but isn't the highest quality 3D visuals I have seen. However, the information is very detailed and informative. It's basically about the search for dark matter. If the subject matter interests you, I would say this is a must download. For anybody else though, I would say this is probably a pass. It's free, but the material can be kind of dry unless you're into the topic matter. Also, the UI/UX and just the overall presentation could have been more polished.

LUX SINE Документалка под VR, о лаборатории в подземельях Южной Дакоты в которой пытаются изучать тёмную материю. Выглядит в целом красиво, управление норм, на высоких разрешениях чутка зернистое, что не айс. Темы тёмной материи и науки раскрыта слабо, но виды на местную природу и лабу прекрасные. Как итог: если есть комплект VR, потыкать и полюбоваться на американские красоты можно, благо бесплатно. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1276831459 [i]P.s: если этот обзор был для Вас полезен ставьте лайк, а также добавляйтесь в друзья и подписывайтесь на меня как куратора - [url=store.steampowered.com/curator/28776273/] Обзоры онлайн [/url][/i]
If you love science, and interested in dark matter and how they study it, this is a great VR documentary. Appreciate the effort went into this, I really enjoyed it! :) Thank you
Artistically beautiful, however it fails to be the wonderful science communication piece that it could be. Artistic licence and sharing other cultures cross over into pseudoscience, putting dreams on a level with hard-won scientific knowledge. I really wanted to love this, and I think it has promise, but it's a better tech demo than education piece.
(Vive) Ура! Наконец-то 3D-видео можно смотреть. Выглядит прям очень хорошо. На части с Sanford Rsearch Lab картинка дрожала от поворота головы. На Wind Cave все было идеально. Видео с людьми чуть похуже, но тоже норм. Жаль, что нет субтитров. Речь живая, не дикторская, плюс незнакомые темы. Даже с хорошим знанием английского сложно. А, самое-то главное. Тем, кто любит науку и/или этнические истории, будет крайне интересно. Две пещеры - две темы. В одной исследуют темную материю, из другой, как они утверждают, зародились индейцы. По мне, так супер!
LUX SINE ist eine interaktive Virtual-Reality Bildungs-Erfahrung der besonderen Art. LUX SINE spielt in den Black Hills von South Dakota und führt den Zuschauer durch zwei unterirdische Tunnel, von denen einer von Teilchenphysikern der Stanford Underground Research Facility genutzt wird und der andere Teil der Schöpfungsgeschichte des Lakota-Volkes ist, wo sich der Kosmos aus unterschiedlichen und verschiedenen Blickwinkeln erforschen lässt. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2403290455 Der interessierte Zuschauer bewegt sich durch eine ehemalige Goldmine, die Homestake Goldmine, die sich in ein hochmodernes Labor viele Meter unter der Erde verwandelt wurde. Hier haben Wissenschaftler ein kosmisches Mikrofon aufgebaut, um nichts geringeres als die sagenumwobene Dunkle Materie zu untersuchen. Gleichzeitig nimmt die visuell toll erzählte Geschichte die Teilnehmer aber auch mit in das riesige unterirdische Netzwerk der sogenannten "Wind Cave". Ein Labyrinth uralter Gänge, das im Mittelpunkt der Schöpfungsgeschichte der Lakota Sioux Ureinwohner steht. ... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2403291908 Der Zuschauer kann sich in den Gängen der unterirdischen Anlage per Trigger frei fliegend bewegen. Dem einen oder anderen könnte hierbei durchaus etwas schlecht werden, die Bewegung ist aber sehr langsam und man kann sich so gut daran gewöhnen. Die gezeigten 360° Videos sind leider nicht immer von guter Qualität, auch wenn man das Superampling hochschraubt. Aber der Informationsgehalt ist für ein Umsonstprogramm wirklich sehr hoch. Das könnte für den einen oder anderen Zuschauer dann durchaus etwas dröge sein, zumal das Programm natürlich in Englisch ist. Menschen die sich aber für das Thema der Dunklen Materie auch spirituell interessieren, ist dieser Film sehr sehenswert. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2403297164 Wer Interesse an der Erforschung der Dunklen Materie hat, kann sich diesen Interaktiven Dokumentarfilm ansehen, für andere ist er trotz toller Aufmachung eher etwas langatmig. 👀[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32170554/] Mit Rückenwind [/url] in den Segelohren und erhobenen Daumen auf meiner Kurator Seite.

Set in the Black Hills of South Dakota, LUX SINE takes viewers through two underground tunnels, one used by particle physicists at the Stanford Underground Research Facility and the other part of the Lakota people's creation story, where the cosmos can be explored from different and diverse perspectives. The interested viewer moves through a former gold mine, the Homestake Gold Mine, which has been transformed into a state-of-the-art laboratory many feet underground. Here, scientists have set up a cosmic microphone to study nothing less than the fabled Dark Matter. At the same time, however, the visually awesome storytelling takes participants into the vast underground network known as the Wind Cave. A labyrinth of ancient passages that is at the heart of the Lakota Sioux Native American creation story. ... The viewer can move freely in the corridors of the underground facility by trigger flying. One or the other might get a little sick at this, but the movement is very slow and one can get used to it so well. The 360° videos shown are unfortunately not always of good quality, even if you turn up the super sampling. But the information content is really very high for a free program. This could be a bit boring for some viewers, especially since the program is in English. But for people who are interested in the topic of dark matter, also spiritually, this film is very worth seeing. Those who are interested in the research of Dark Matter can watch this Interactive Documentary, for others it is rather a bit long winded despite great presentation. 👀[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32170554/]With tailwind[/url] in the sail ears and raised thumbs on my curator side.

*Experienced on the Valve Index* Nicely put together educational experience. Visually beautiful and informative. I was impressed with the amount of content and quality, especially for a free experience.
Its kinda cool but I wish the 360 videos were of higher quality, looks like blurry VHS experience unfortunately, 180VR is honestly much better experience were video is crystal clear and you can decide what you wanna show instead of having to contantly spin around. Story was weird, there was some science experiment and then we were on tunnels and some indian dance festival tbh I have no clue what all that was about.
LUX SINE is a free VR experience that is a documentary about science and spiritual belief. It worked on my HTC Vive and Index system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Two different programs to watch: about exploration of dark matter in Sanford Research Lab and about myths and tradition of Lakota people. There are several wrong things about this program: bad Volumetric video texturing on the interviews, and you have explore around to look for the next content hotspot. Has several hours of content, but might be boring to most users. Warning: Some of the 360 degree videos might trigger motion sickness or fear of falling. Try this only, if you like science.
