Space Time VR has launched! (Patreon)

Hey all, several months ago we started a project to bring Space Time to virtual reality, with the enthusiastic support of Oculus, for their Gear VR device. This has been a hell of an experiment! No one has done this type of VR content before - I don't mean "VR in space" (Titans of Space is okay I guess) - I mean using VR to its fullest to communicate complex ideas in physics and astronomy, while at the same time providing the type of deeply immersive and exciting ride that people expect from VR. At least that's what we're telling ourselves because this took a TON of work! Did we succeed? Judge for yourselves. The first three episodes are available for download, with three more coming early 2018. You'll need to get your hands on a Gear VR (at least briefly!), but after that it's free from the Oculus store.

Oh, and here's the trailer. We'll be showing this on the channel in a special announcement upload on Friday, but you guys get to see it first.

Will there be Vive support!?

A few years ago I got to talk to Steven Holtzman (producer Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey, and mattervr). I asked him if he'd seen "Space Time", he said yes and he freaking loved it. We went on to talk about how something like "Space Time" using in VR would be an awesome way to communicate science. 'Imagine the graphs and charts!' So glad for this dream to come true.

Any chance this will be released for Android Daydream?

Absolutely outstanding. Amazing graphics, interesting topics, expertly delivered. Totally immersive. It's been said by others, but I wish all VR was this good.

Seconded. Unless it is, I'll be missing out on this one. Sadly, I don't imagine it will be. I'm just going to take a wild guess and say this was probably sponsored by Oculus and/or Samsung, in which case there would almost certainly be an exclusivity clause in the contract. Edit: Maybe not such a wild guess, since he did say "with the enthusiastic support of Oculus"

there is a bigger customer base for the GearVR since its more accessable the the more expensive and heavy requirements of the rift or vive make it not so feasable to make it for the rift specifically. Ide say after the release of the OculusGO they will be making gearVR cross-platform, but until oculus does it i doubt spacetime will invest for a conversion. we can only hope.

Second this. Have a Vive, would love to watch this in it.

I would like to add my vote for supporting the Rift and Vive. With Oculus supporting you, I hope that porting this over to the Rift at the least will come very soon. If there is any way I can help, I would gladly offer some development time (pro bono) in helping get this ported.

I have to say, kudos. This is an incredible app and vr is a wonderful medium to discover space time. This was worth getting into a fight with my wife about adding another phone line to our plan just so I can get a Samsung phone and gear vr. If this gets ported over to Oculus rift soon nobody tell my wife. Now.... give me more. More!

We need this in all platforms, please.
