Perspectives: Paradise

Ok. A very simple program putting you 10 kilometres from one of the early 1950s nukes being test fired on an island. I knew what to expect. However it was pretty effective. The animations start off with nice sea waves and fluttering bushes/trees. Strangely enough no birds. I somehow don`t think all the birds were conveniently moved. Then you get the 1950s count down. Then the flash which would have had you blinded had you been looking at it for real. Everything catches fire, which was, admittedly somewhat disturbing even though I knew it was coming. Then there`s the shockwave and the noise that destroyed whatever else was left. And this is only a 10 Megaton nuke. They are MUCH bigger now. Many times so. This I would advise playing to everyone, even children so that they can see and understand what these things can do. There is no point lying to them. My father taught me these things at a young age because he wanted me to know the truth of war. He`s right. The program has other interviews and sites to watch. It tells us that Korea and the US are building even more nukes- It doesn`t matter. We have always had enough to wipe this planet out several times over. Nukes will never be got rid of now we have them. We can only try to prevent their use and pray God doesn`t allow them to trigger in another war. It`s just sad that we ever invented these things at all. p.s. This may seem flippant, but if you ever play Fallout4VR this does almost as good a job of showing you what a world war with nukes would result in, just take out the fantasy aspects, especially in the early parts of the game when all you see is destruction for miles.

WOW, Really made me think how insane Nuclear Weapons are. It was crazy to take a little piece of Paradise and do this to it. The way the clean up or you can say lack of was done is disturbing as well. This is a real eye opener and can be a good teaching tool to show others just how disturbing it is to have weapons like this in our world. To those who created this VR Simulation, Thank you

It is equivalent to a 20-30 minute mini-documentary. Some of the 3D video can be hard on the eyes and leaning one's head may cause motion sickness. It is free, so the sacrifice of time is not much to lose, especially if one knows little about the atoll and the tests that took place. However, it would further benefit as an educational tool with more archived videos, longer personal interviews, and general information.

this is a moving experience. Going through each piece of information shows how heartbreakingly unconcerned for human life we have been.

this should be required viewing for every US citizens.

Best horror VR game out there

One of those that should be in everyone's library. The price is certainly right, and being able to see a reinactment of a nuclear explosion and then having access to the islander's stories is very well done. Putting it another way, if you have a kid in school grade 4-12 who needs a history report topic, this is a good source.
