Description: Sky Tower is a relaxation VR experience. Whenever you are tired after a long day at work or just need a change of scenery, the tower is an ideal place for retreat. A personal place where you can just lay back, ponder and enjoy the atmosphere. Sky Tower also features a video player. Use your touch controller as a remote to easily navigate trough file explorer and load up your favourite video.

This is a sitting VR experience. Find a comfortable place to sit (preferably a couch) and reset your position. You can do that by holding down the system button on the touch controller and select “Reset Seated Position”.

Review: When Sky Tower was first released it might have been quite revolutionary. But times have moved on and these days apps like Big Screen and VR desktop enable you to do so much more in a virtual space. But regardless of that, this is still a nice little environment to watch your videos in. But that is all it is! For the price, it is hard to justify, even if it does do exactly what it needs to do. Like I said, maybe times have changed and this app is no longer great. If only it is free I would have been telling you that it was worth a look! But even for its small asking price this is best avoided.
