Review: Inception is a library of VR content (mostly 360° videos) that bring music, culture and lifestyle to the world of VR. While most other 360° video collection apps have quite a wide variety of things to watch and experience, this app really takes it for a walk down the culture and art side of life, showing you things that you will probably never experience in real life.
I tried several of these experiences and the quality is very good indeed. You do need to download each one, but once done you can sit back and enjoy whatever one you have chosen. To be fair there are quite a few to choose from and each one more unusual than the last.
The problem with this type of app is there are far too many of them and often they show the same things over and over again. But not Inception. The 360 experiences they have here are all truly unique experiences that bring you a touch of culture with each video you watch. It is not often I get lost within these apps, but with Inception there was so much unique content that I felt I could happily watch all of it. If you like to experience things most other people haven’t this is the app for you.
