Wonderful photogrammetry experience.

I agree with FastLawyer 100%.

I would add that having smooth loco would be a big plus!

This whole experience takes approximately 20-30 minutes. You can teleport around the main area and then either get more information on the subject or actually get transported into the subject area. There are audio tidbits for many of the pieces.

The outside grounds of the recreated churches in VR are low-quality. However, once inside you can the see the high-quality scans that were done for these medieval Churches. You can teleport inside the church as well although there are areas that are walled off.

I would recommend this app to anyone interested in the subject matter.

A really good VR experience that allows you to get a life like feel of what it’s like to be inside a number of Church's. Most of the Churches don’t look very exciting from the outside but when you get inside and you get too experience the décor scale it really makes you feel like you really visiting some special places, which would now like to go and see in real life.
You get a really good amount of freedom of move around using teleporting without any risk of accidently triggering free locomotion and making yourself sick, which makes this a very good VR experience to demo to people of all ages who are new to VR.

10/10 would go to church again

Unfortunately, this is a bit of a mixed bag.

When you first enter the exhibit, you can move around to examine the various artifacts and diorama of churches on display. Some of the sculptures were captured very well, with high quality details that you can examine closely, while others are noticeably at a lower resolution or blurry. There is a hall in the exhibit that is void of any sculpture.

The dioramas of the churches on top of the tables, found in the halls along the sides of the exhibit, were interesting to look at, but when teleported to each of the church's ground level at human scale and looking at the exterior of the buildings and the environments, their models and textures appear to be the same as when looking at them as dioramas. At that scale, everything looks like they have very low detail, such as the headstones in the graves appearing misshapen. Unless these environments are refined more, it probably would've been better to leave these as dioramas and not allow roaming around them. Also, one of the churches states that exploration of its model is coming soon.

The interior of the churches have better detail, but the geometry feels a bit off, with some walls and floors strangely not flat. There are also models, such as the pews, with noticeable gaps in them. Overall though, the interiors were captured well enough that they're worth exploring. In one of the churches, teleporting through it is not possible.

The narration is nice, but there is a bit of inconsistency to where it is applied, with the sculptures/artifacts in the main hall having it while some of the various points of interests in the churches not having it. The information text boxes that appear at the points of interests were interesting to read, however they're sized as if the user was reading them physically close-up in a museum. Given the nature of VR, such as the limited resolution of headsets, I think it would've been better if the text was a bit bigger, one noticeable culprit being the text box located outside of the gate for one of the churches at ground level.

In the end, the subject matter seems interesting, but the quality of the exhibit, particularly the visual aspect, leaves much to be desired. It's clear from parts of the exhibit that the developers are capable of delivering a high quality experience and had quite an ambitious project in mind, but from the state that this exhibit is in, I can only guess that this is incomplete.

This is my least favorite VR Museum simply because of its poor visuals. Sculptures in the main room look good, but the churches are just awful.
Exteriors are full of visuals artifacts, like they were taken from Google Maps VR. And interiors look like they were made from paper mache, they severely lack polygons and shadows.

This is a great concept for a VR experience - I'm so happy to be seeing more scans of historical architecture and artifacts being made available to the public.

However, the graphics are a huge turnoff. For the church walkthroughs, models are incomplete, warped, color-shifted (many of the graves appear to be pink or yellow), and the general texture quality is very low. There are a few places where there are floating polygon snippets just chilling in the pathway, and none of the museum remnants were moved before scanning or in post-production, so there are scattered papers in several places and a TV with the frozen image of a movie. The more warped scan areas are unsettling enough I kept expecting this to be a horror game in disguise where a monster would suddenly rush at me from behind a floating bush.

The scans of the artifacts themselves are fantastic - the details and textures are good, and the narrator is excellent.

It's a great concept and I would love to come back and revisit the experience if it gets a little more polish.

Church Art Of Sweden is a free VR museum experience that is about medieval Churches in Sweden. It worked on my HTC Vive and Index system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok, was understandable. The texture info is in English and the narrator guide dialogue is in English. The textures and models of the 9 objects in the museum looked ok. There are four or more 3D map dioramas of old churches in Sweden, which you can enter inside the diorama to explore. The outside map of these churches were captured with very low res cameras so they are very ugly. The insides of the churches were captured with better camera to show the internal decorations. The VR movement is teleport. Looks like there are more additions to the museum in the works. For Free, this program is ok.

Try this, if you are interested in medieval religious imagery.

I like photogrammetery, and this is a very impressive showing. It has differant spaces to explore and a selector museum environment. Good quality considering the source material is all, eh, crumbly. That being said, I'm not a fan of religious imagery, but that's not really what you get here.
