Description: “Heaven Island Life” is an experience designed for the HTC Vive in which you’ll explore wonderful places. The inspiration for the environments comes from the Renzo Piano designs and from the book “Origins of Architectural Pleasure” in which the welfare is of primary importance.

Review: If Heaven Island Life was a free app I might have suggested you take a look at it and decide for yourself if you enjoy it, but as a paid app this is one app I won’t be recommending. Its sits half-way between a relaxation app and an interactive fun app, but it isn’t good at being neither of them. Its too sparse to be a relaxation app and there simply isn’t enough to make it a tech-demo. Maybe I am missing the point of it, but for me, this is one VR experience best avoided.
