CAREFULLY! Strong motion sickness!
How small are you compared to Everest? What is bigger - electron or photon? What is the smallest object in the Universe? What is the size of the Universe itself?
Here you can fully experience the scale of objects in the Universe, comparing them with each other.
You'll be standing in the middle of nowhere, and different objects will appear around you next to each other, so you can experience the enormity of their scale firsthand. You yourself will lead the process of scaling the Universe. At any moment, you can stop and have a good look, comparing the objects in front of your eyes. After this, you can continue your journey to the microworld or to the macroworld at the desired speed. You will see all scales studied so far, from the Planck length to the observable Universe. It looks amazing in VR!

So, you start out standing next to a human for scale, and then you have to slowly walk over to a whale? And behind that is an unnamed pyramid structure that's strangely low poly... then, you can use a menu to jump to viewing planets or atoms. That's it? I didn't get any sense of scale because there was no smooth, animated transition going from one to the next, zooming and changing scale while showing my human scale either via third person or by keeping that human example in view.
Just... terrible, unless it wasn't working for me? Did I miss something?
I'd ask for a refund but I don't want to ask for too many and I got it for a dollar.
So humbling - it is impossible to fully appreciate the scale of ourselves within the Universe, but this VR experience does a pretty good job of it! It would be great to have this imprinted on my brain, as sadly tomorrow my universe will naturally and inevitably switch back to that which is just before my nose.
