Stonehenge VR began its journey as a profound learning experience, enjoyed by thousands of families, when it originated as one of the first room scale VR exhibits on display in a museum. The first location was the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Washington, and the second was the Museum at Prairiefire in Overland Park, Kansas.
The Museum Mode serves as a wonderful entry point for the first time VR user. Starting with a built in tutorial, it prepares people of all ages on how to interact in virtual reality.
This VR experience includes narrated voice overs, interactivity, and animations that will give you a new appreciation for its fascinating history and beauty as you travel to the world famous prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England.
Designed to expand the experience for the home VR user, Stonehenge VR 2.0 with SANDBOX Mode puts minimal limitations on the creator allowing them to roam across the map and create virtual worlds on any scale desired.
Build, paint and knock down your own version of the Stonehenge monument with motion controllers in real time. Design your own ancient monument around the original Stonehenge, or delete it and start in an empty field.
The SANDBOX is user friendly for the beginner with many tools to discover, and three types of locomotion options for the more experienced VR user. Many additional pre-made monuments for you to explore come built in to the Stonehenge VR SANDBOX.

The Developer:
After having his mind blown by VR in 2013, and seeing how the tech could be used for education, Christian Bretz decided to change careers and went looking for financing to start his first VR project. When he wasn't able to get the financing necessary to hire a developer, he decided to teach him self how to develop VR software in the Unreal Engine using tutorials and information he found online.
Three months later he created the first version of Stonehenge VR, and less than a year after that it became one of the first room scale VR exhibits to ever be displayed in a museum.
First was the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, WA, then the Museum at Prairiefire in Overland Park, KS. It also became a launch title for HTC’s Viveport and has been featured by many tech and media publications such as, CNet, Variety and VRScout.
Christian and his Co-Founder Jessica Villarreal design all the software, and run the business themselves all out of their home in Los Angeles, CA.

Library of Realities.com review:
Stonehenge VR Sandbox is a PCVR curiosity that is equal parts museum exhibit and building game. The experience shines greatest as a museum tour, which after a brief introductory locomotion tutorial and useful map animation, transports you onto England's Salisbury Plain for a close encounter with this famous prehistoric monument.
The tour leads you along a prescribed path and a narrative audio guide accompanies you as you use controllers to teleport between locations. The guide illuminates the tour with brief insights into the different stones and suggests prevailing theories about their placement and purpose. The Museum Tour shows off some of the program's great lighting features - repositioning the sun to show what Stonehenge looks like on the summer solstice, at dusk and lit by a firepit at night.
Though it's pleasing to stand within the stone circle where visitors are not usually allowed, our immersion and sense of place was diminished by a lack of faithful modelling and graphical detail. A comparison of the placement of the stones (see image below) shows that care was taken to achieve a level of positional accuracy, but unfortunately this doesn't extend to the stones themselves. Stone model shapes and textures don't match the real thing, and the same computer-generated stones are reused several times to construct the monument. We would have also liked to see photography used to depict the hills and scenery that exist at the site, rather than a generic grass texture and a surrounding land berm to hide the horizon.
The tour is over in around fifteen minutes, but doesn't offer an opportunity for you to roam around the monument. For that you will need to move into the sandbox mode and complete the tutorial. After the tutorial is complete, you may teleport freely around the stones to appreciate them from every angle, changing the time of day or switching to night-time.
The sandbox mode feels out of place - especially since its first action in the tutorial is to demolish Stonehenge! Thankfully you can easily bring it back or load up other creations that people have made in this mode by building three dimensional models with stone blocks. The sandbox mode does extend the functionality of this experience, though it feels somewhat incongruous when offered alongside an educational tour. Introducing multicolored paints to the sarsen standing stones definitely felt wrong, as did knocking over the whole structure with a flick of the wrist.
Sandbox is more Minecraft than museum, but unfortunately the user interface isn't anywhere near as good as Minecraft and we found this to be more frustrating than fun. Aside from a poor use of icons and pointers, we found a lack of rotation options made it difficult to position and balance blocks. Which was important since it didn't take much to accidentally disturb previously placed blocks and there wasn't an undo function that we could find.
Stonehenge VR Sandbox is a capable museum exhibit that offers some learning experience and an element of play, but we can't score higher than three stars because of the lack of immersion caused by the use of generic graphics and modelling to recreate the stones and Salisbury Plain. Also, there was a missed opportunity within the Museum Tour to show how the stone circle would have looked before time and weather took its toll.
✅ Plenty of sights and details on the museum tour.
✅ Free-roam Stonehenge from the sandbox mode.
✅ Sandbox offers extended content.
❌ Realism suffers due to less than faithful graphics.
❌ Teleport locomotion only and no snap-turning.
This app does not even work. There is no way of getting past the tutorial let alone see Stonehenge. This is a complete waste of time and money.
This is great, especially for the price I paid £1.49. I played this on an Oculus Quest 2. Its not a game as such, more of an educational vr tour of Stonehenge. It uses teleport motion and allows you to interact with some of the world objects, whilst telling the story of Stonehenge, and allowing you to visualise what happens on the summer solstice. We totally need more educational vr content like this.

I'm surprised that this app doesn't have more reviews. It's a good educational app. You get a nice narrated tour of Stonehenge. I definitely learned some things that I didn't know before about this ancient monument.
You even have your own sandbox where you can change stuff like the time of day or night, the angle of the sun, fog, or you can change the colors of the stones, or add your own. You can listen to your own music while you just chill. You can even fly around and check it out from different angles. You can add your own decorations such as butterflies or your own campfire.
I did find the controls and the UI to be a little on the clunky side. You can only teleport or move forward in the direction your controller is facing. You cannot smooth turn or snap turn. The game ran smoothly. I did not experience any crashes unlike some of the negative reviews.
Rate 6/10. Good for what it is. I know there are free apps that are better than the narrated tour here, but this is good for what it is. I got it on sale for less than $4 USD and I think it's a steal at that price.
Want to start the program you just paid for? No so fast, first jump through these hoops which are so bugged that you may never get to the actual program. Congrats devs, it caused a bad review and return.
