A series of immersive documentaries about the island of Kyushu in Japan. The style combines real life 360 video and more fantastical AI built worlds illustrating historical scenes and Japan's rich anime culture. Kyushu is one of the most volcanically active areas in the world and we focus on several of the islands main volcanoes, both the geological and the cultural impacts. Another episode focuses on the sub-tropical island of Yakushima, known for its natural beauty and conservation program as well as the inspiration behind the studio Ghibli anime film Princess Mononoke. Another episode focuses on the city of Nagasaki, the second city in the world after Hiroshima to be attacked with a nuclear bomb. The series is both informational and inspirational.

This is a fantastic travel and exploration app. As someone who loves travel and exploration apps, I have seen quite a few of them. However, many of these apps tend to feel like a video camera was strapped to somebody's head while they take an excruciatingly slow tour through an area.
This app, on the other hand, offers a video immersion experience that places you proportionally correct in the environment, giving you a more realistic and engaging experience. What I love most about this app is the variety of perspectives it offers. Sometimes you feel like you're flying over the environment, sometimes riding through it, and sometimes it feels like your head is outside of a car for a 3D view. The scenes are edited to present the tour in a way that is interesting and dynamic, with different points of view.
The narration is also a highlight of this app. It's informative and fast-paced, making the experience all the more enjoyable. Considering the technology available and the budget, this app is terrifically done and truly stands out from the rest.
I highly recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a new and exciting way to explore different places.
