The Synopsis for the game/app reads as follows…
Chernobyl VR Project is a very special project by The Farm 51, a software developer from Gliwice, as it combines video games with educational software. It is the very first virtual tour around the Chernobyl and Pripyat area, compatible with multiple VR headsets, such as Oculus, Morpheus, Vive, or the mobile Samsung Gear VR solution. The Farm 51 has already visited the site, preparing the
project and collecting visual content.
Chernobyl VR Project is a unique combination of video game fun and an interactive documentary describing the history and geography of the polluted zone. Visit Chernobyl without leaving home! We aim to release the application close to the disaster’s 30th anniversary (April 2016).
