Welcome to the Impossible Travel Agency
Travel to a distant world pulsing with life in this beautiful VR experience set to music. As the sun sets and the twin moons rise, luminescent flowers shine while sleek birds glowing with mystical patterns weave ever-changing shapes across the sky. And then, minute by minute, you realize that something miraculous is unfolding before you. All of it builds to a glorious and mysterious climax -- and you can only witness all of this thanks to the Impossible Travel Agency, a transporting VR experience for anyone who loves music, beauty, and dreams.This is a narrative experience in VR lasting six minutes. Once you've taken the trip, you can customize it by using your own music and setting the duration to match your favorite album or playlist. The environment will react to your music and the story will adjust to your new duration for a transporting experience with the songs you love.
ITA supports the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headsets. It also supports the use of tracked motion controllers for both VR platforms but controller usage is optional. You may sit, stand, walk around, or just lie on the floor and look up at the stars.
Available for Arcades on SpringboardVR

This is not a game, but rather an experience.
It's relatively short, but it's pretty. I had hoped that Holospark would continue to make other "Impossible travel destinations, but sadly there is only the one. But there's a little bonus Halloween experience in there.
It's a novelty - one of the earlier VR experiences, I remember thing it was quite breathtaking when I first saw it.
Recommended on sale.

Beautiful, Very Relaxing. Wishing like many others that it lasted longer. Hope the creators continue to produce other fantastic works like this. Thank you
While I liked the Haunted Mansion demo these folks put together, the fixed position presentation for this really felt like Holospark should have just given this away rather than making people pay for it. This is more something that showcases what's to come, but to make customers pay money for it... It's wrong in my opinion. Took me a grand total of 7 minutes to take this 'ride', which did nothing other than put me in a single fixed position unable to move or do anything other than look around and lesson to somewhat obnoxious music.
Save your money. Holospark, make this free.
I was under the impression there were several locations to explore but indeed there was only one. You can't really interact with it and everything around you just happens. After 6-7 minutes the experience is over.
They added a Halloween-themed version of the same environment and it's way more interesting. Again, you can't interact with the environment and everything happens the same way everytime BUT there is alot more stuff happening here and it was somewhat enjoyable.
Sadly the pricetag of 5€ attached to a 13-14 minute experience (of which i liked less than 50% off) is a lot to swallow.
I would like to have recommended this but I'm just on the edge with it. It's a very pretty and relaxing setpiece with an immersive sense of scale, but the price is a bit high for what you get. You can't walk around the small area the experience places you on and the customizing with your own music option described on the store page is a bit misleading.
For the custom music have to leave VR (or open your Desktop in VR if you can) to turn on your music from an external source and then mute the game's soundtrack. It would be nice to see this get uploaded to be a little more involved and integrated in the future. It's definitely not for everyone, but as a novelty to sit and watch it's fine.
If you like disneys Fantasia you will love this.
People complain that its too short but there are two scenes to pick from,
Is it worth a fiver? If you like to show the rift off to people then definetly its worth the money.
Not a bad experience as such but it just does not run very smoothly on my i7 4790k with 32GBs of RAM, Geforce GTX 1070 with 8GBs of RAM under windows 8.1 using my HTC Vive.
As such if they can get it running better I would give it a positive review but at the moment I cant really use it as a demo for friends so I will need to request a refund.
But I do like the idea and art work so if they can optimize it to run better and add in a little more interaction I would happily change my review.
This is a beautiful fantasy/sci-fi VR experience with visuals that are subtly synced to a symphonic score. I've heard several people compare the setting to Avatar's Pandora, but the world here has its own palette and its own mysteries. I hear there is some interactivity if you have motion tracking controllers, but I am a Rift user, and currently only have Xbox controllers, so I can't speak to that aspect of the product. It has been enough for me to just be able to look around (you'll probably want to be standing for this one) and let things play out.
The default mode of this program is to play an almost 6-minute-long scene to the included score, but you can adjust it to disable the built-in music and sync some of the visual effects to whatever music is playing on your computer's default audio device. (I tried this with some Alan Walker YouTube videos playing in a browser window on the desktop and this worked out really well.)
If you're the first person in your family or circle of friends to have a Rift or Vive, this is a quick and easy way to demonstrate the power and promise of VR. It's not a game (nor is it marketed as such), and it's not a typical narrative story. Rather, it is a brief but wonderfully executed interlude on an alien landscape, and I really hope to see more experiences like this in the future.
Very beatuiful visual enviroment with classical music. Relaxing, medative experience. But very short (5-6 minutes) and only one "level". However, you can use your own music and adjust the experience playtime to the music. No option to interact with anything.
I like the idea but this isn't worth $5.
- you can use different music with it but the stock audio effects are mediocre at best and not immersive.
- it's 'Impossible' but you're standing in tulips. With some mushrooms nearby and a cherry tree in blossum above. Plus a familiar looking flying whale.
If this had some truly strange environment, boundaries that don't break immersion when you near the edge to look down, a decent audio soundscape, the ability to move or perhaps teleport to other spots/return to the travel bureau and choose other destinations then yes.
TheBlu, Temple of Aspara, Irrational Exuberance are better demos and if i wanted to sit and listen to an album i'd be inclined to do it in something like SkyTower.
If you've watched the trailer, you've seen everything there is to see in this game.
A whaleaodactyl manta ray thing flying around, birds, flowers, water, some lights, japanese paper lanterns floating around, another whaeodactyl breaks out of a rock and shoots into space.
Save your $5.00 or just give to to a radom person on the street, either way it's a better use of $5.00 than watching whaleaodactyls.
Great concept (ala Fantasia) that I really, really wanted to like. Just to many shortcuts taken that break the immersive fascination that should have been central to implementation. For instance mechanical single joint flapping of pterodactyls. Whale+ray shows a distinct lack of imagination. Pedals falling in a very simplistic motion. Motion of flowers, pterodactyls flocks, etc not organic at all. At best this is a concept demo, not a full fledge consumer release.
On the plus side the music integration is a great idea and the visual potential is there.
I'll be watching for updates and more content from this studio but very cautious about further purchases.
Is it long? No. Is it full of content? No. But is it beautiful, and etherial, and gorgeous, and when the night falls it gets even better? Yes.
A few caveats, this is not a game where you will be doing much. This is an experience, think of it like a music video, and if that sounds worth the money to you, jump in.
I personally love this kind of stuff, want more surreal experiences.
Pretty cool experience, relaxing atmosphere. The provided music may only last 6 minutes, but the real appeal is the ability to play your own music in the background while using the environment/island as a visualizer (you can also set the time on your "trip" to match your playlist or song(s)). Will likely be using this to relax/decompress well into the future, definitely going to get my $5 worth.
There is absolutely nothing. Some music for what feels super long. It's like the blue, but more boring. I am sorry, but it is not worth the price. There is only 1 scene and you can't move. The art direction is average at best. For the price there are much better VR experience out there. I don't know, but this looks like it was throw together in one afternoon quickly.
Or did I miss the way to actually travel?
As already said this is a 6 minute experiance in one scene with classical music in the background.
When the scene turns to night it really gets beautiful.. just wow :) reminded me a little bit of avatar with the flying rocks and the glowing plants at night.
I just love it and wish to see more :)
I enjoyed the experience, very relaxing, beautiful environment. However, I was hoping for something more. It builds up, but nothing very interesting happens. I would say the price is a bit steep as well, this experience is worth 3 dollars at most. As a fellow developer, I recommend lowering the price on this a bit.
Nice little experience similar in concept to The Blu, and also in a similar price bracket (considering this is just one scenario whereas The Blu has three). Where The Blu offers a realistic underwater setting, this one's more of a fantasy/sci-fi one high up in the air. The classical music can be replaced by one's own and the length of the experience adjusted accordingly. Yes, it's only about 6 minutes of content, but I for one am not regretting the purchase. Here's hoping that travel agency will get additional destinations down the road!
Short, sweet, supported for the potential that companies like this deliver for bigger better experienced going forward. Child like, 6 mins, pretty flowers and lights with a flying thing. For two bottles of coke it worth it.
The total experience length of 6 minutes is fine, IF it's a pretty special 6 minutes... unfortunately the 6 minutes you're getting here is nowhere as detailed and impressive as, say, TheBlu.
My observations:
1). The flying stingray monster is just a whale model, modified/crossed with the stingray model. When it's close enough, you can see that it has a whale's body/face/tail, except for the added wings. (Is the whale one of the default model from Vive SDK or something?)
2). The art direction/color choice, is pretty meh to me. Neither cool, enchanting nor elegant.
3). The events that 'unfold' within the 6 minutes are pretty meh... the only kinda cool thing happened too far away to observe or 'feel', and there's no way to see it closer.
4). Did I mention that there's only one scene and you can't seem to move at all from your initial location? Or did I miss that option.
