Unexpectedly Enjoyable

Really lovely use of the Quest. A story of a painting, and the life story of the Painter told really beautifully through VR. Thoroughly enjoyable and interesting even for those with a passing interest in art. I hope this is the first of many, as certainly would be a great way to get the history of art to the masses in a very approachable manner. Well done 👍

Very educative

Lovely VR experience about an important character of the European art world. The narration is entertaining and the episode makes the most of the VR space to engage the viewer.

I'd call this a "Visual Essay"

It's a brief history lesson on Georges Seurat's famous painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" and the birth of Pointillism. Great little intro to VR piece perfect for kids or people would have a hard time using the controllers.
