Great App! But still needs some tweaks.
I really like the idea of exploring Venice in VR format. The experience was quite authentic, and the interview was informative — especially for someone like me who has never seen this kind of app before.
However, I feel that some user controls are missing. It would be helpful to have the ability to rewind or skip certain parts of the interview.
Overall, a great app with lots of potential... just a few tweaks could make the experience even better!
Low quality travel VR
Minimal VR control, confined to pause and replay with no chapters, rewind, fast forward. Nor are there any extra information, photos. It's a VR film which has no edits, so here you have to wait through the German host trying to phone his daughter in a back alley. The 'interview' with the owners is unstructured and ill-thought through. 'Tell us a joke....um about Venice' is one of the interview questions. Nor do they remotely act as Guides - they provide no information of their own.
Why are the camera man and host incessantly taking camera phone pictures? It's really distracting.
All we really get to see is a VERY drawn out view inside one small shop, and a quick look at the back workshop with a rather uncomfortable exchange to buy a 55 Euro mask seemingly more to get the owners on side than anything else. At one point she gets angry at them taking photos.
The best thing about these VR travel apps has been the thumbnail so far. Why wasn't equal care taken about the VR we may never know.
VR report from Venice, Ca'Macana Atelier
I must say, I haven't seen such a report before. It was different from traditional tv reports of this kind.
Here, you enter the mask shop and atelier in Venice guided by Dart. And Sam, this is the user like me, this is what I understood from this concept, has an impression to be at the location with Dart and the people involved in the interviews or even others, tourists browsing through the mask shop.
In the beginning there's kinda exposure problem, for a very short time the scenery gets dark but the interview with the proprietors and their son Filippo is so informative, funny and fast-moving, you forget about the short-lived exposure issue.
Dart got hold of the feather of Marco Polo? For his fine & masked white hat? It was a really funny scene, especially trying to 'transplant' Marco Polo's head ;)) and to become Marco Polo. Very funny, Dart!
The report features also the Venetian mask of seduction, the Moretta or Muta. I have had read about it sometime ago and now have seen it in real. i think, no woman would wear such a mask today. But ir was cool to learn more about it.
The shop owners seem to be very nice people, craftsmen and artists creating fine masks, Filippo is very authentic too. I enjoyed the authenticity of the entire experience.
I have been to Venice but never in a mask shop. Now I can say, I did and know a lot about the Venetian mask designing tradition.
