Description: The Hollywood Hills Mansion from LOOT Interactive is the perfect place to unwind and escape reality. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Los Angeles skyline and immerse yourself in streaming entertainment on two large home theatre screens, featuring live content from Facade TV* and Ustream*! Or, for the ultimate in freedom, side-load your own content. (Can be experienced with or without a VR headset.)
Designed as a realistic immersion into the lap of luxury, the Hollywood Hills Mansion emphasizes the “being” of VR as much as doing. New features and experiences like streaming music, side loading and more are coming soon.
Review: Look outside your window. What do you see? Do you see breathtaking views of the Los Angeles skyline? And how big is your swimming pool and home cinema screen? Oh. Don’t you have any of those things? Well, you can now because Hollywood Hills Mansion gives you all that and even some. For less than the price of a small plastic Hollywood sign you get a whole mansion filled with holographic dancers to have your own VR pool party in as well as a giant screen for watching movies or some of the streamed content.
With 2 giant screens, a music player and a few great looking hologram people this is one party where everyone is invited and the dress coat is whatever you want it to be. Probably the only Hollywood Hills party you will ever be invited to. To be fair to Hollywood Hills Mansion it looks amazing and the 3D holographic people look awesome. The two movie screens are also quite a nice feature, but even with all that and the music player with its ready-made pool party thrown in for good measure it simply doesn’t warrant the asking price. Maybe grab it for half price and you might not to too disappointed. Other than that is a great looking app that is little more than a fancy movie player.
