SpaceVR | The Overview Effect
Fitness & Wellness ∙ Travel & ExplorationThe Overview Effect is one of the most profound experiences known to humankind. Giving astronauts a lifetime of wonder and awe, overwhelming them with the fragility and unity of life on our blue globe.
SpaceVR has successfully recreated this experience using real space footage from NASA for everyone to enjoy in the comfort of your home.
This is a deeply relaxing, meditative journey through space to a new level of awareness best experienced laying down in a peaceful setting.
Recently the globally renowned William Shatner experienced this on a flight to space stating “Everybody in the world needs to do this. Everybody in the world needs to see. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable. I mean, the little things, the weightlessness. But to see the blue color go whip by, and now you're staring into blackness. That's the thing. The covering of blue is this sheet, this blanket, this comforter of blue that we have around..."
Many have had similar experiences and now you are next! Enjoy!

one of a kind VR Experience :)))
This is very meditative and relaxing. It also allows us to see the earth from a perspective win space that normally would not be possible!
I would love to experience this in a float tank!!!
Nice trip
The video starts off a bit low resolution but gets better. Tried it sitting up and I really enjoyed it. Me and my friend Mary J. had fun looking for faces and animals in the passing clouds. There's a real witch's face above Spain on the final global view. Quite mesmerizing.
Nice getaway
This is basically like being in an IMAX theater where you can relax and get lost in the planet from space. It's a narrated recording that you can just enjoy!
Very impressive !
Undoubtedly the most elite group of people on this planet are those that can say that they have traveled to space. It was amazing to have a peek at what that must feel like. The narration was eloquent and entertaining while noticeably not mentioning manmade nations or cities but rather mentioning geographical features that we all share as the human race. Bravo! Excellent job! 5 stars from me!
Really beautiful, very relaxing
I didn't realize how beautiful the views of Earth from ISS were. This experience was incredibly moving and very relaxing. I am reminded of the relaxation at the planetarium show when I was a kid. Darkness, a great view, and a narrator accompanied by soothing music.
At first I was concerned the music was too loud but once I stopped actively thinking about it it wasn't too loud at all.
It was so relaxing that at one point I actually dozed off and the narrator's voice woke me up a few moments later.
I definitely recommend it.
