What is Nature Treks VR?

Nature Treks VR is a VR experience that allows you to visit multiple, amazing worlds and explore beautiful locations and animals.

Who Makes Nature Treks VR?

Nature Treks VR is developed by GreenerGames . They are a small indie developer who wanted to create a different type of experience in VR.

Which Headset is Nature Treks VR Available On?

Nature Treks VR is available on Steam VR,  Oculus Rift, and Oculus Quest 2. Each version has different worlds, so keep that in mind when purchasing.

Nature Treks VR Review Experience

First of all Nature Treks VR is not really a game, it is more of a VR experience.  There are no characters or stories to play through.  There is no top score to get. What Nature Treks VR is, is a really calm, relaxing experience, that you can turn to after you’ve done the rest of your VR socializing and VR working out.

This is one of those VR games you want to have in your pocket for when your friends come over and say “So what can you do on VR?”. It looks impressive and doesn’t require a lot of VR knowledge to move around.

Don’t let the non-game element fool you though. GreenerGames has added lots of elements to the experience to keep you entertained and relaxed. It’s helpful to remember though, the entire point of the experience is to take in your surroundings and do nothing but well…  be.

Each of these worlds will have a different play sphere/background, animals and creatures, sounds, and experiences. Depending on your mood, select one of the worlds from the main menu.

You could hop into Green Meadows. A bright relaxing spring meadow and play with some deer, birds, and bunnies.

The environments are stunning and beautiful to look at. Take a deep breath and relax. The ability to quickly travel to these various worlds and experience interacting with animals is really something else. It truly showcases what VR is capable of and shows some of those “can’t happen in real life” experiences.

You can also turn off the music if you prefer silence or select a different track.

What can you do in Nature Treks VR?

If just enjoying the virtual environments is not enough for you and you are looking for more, well, there IS more. The developer has added in a creator update. By clicking A or X buttons, you are able to bring up the creator menu and control the world in various ways.

Orbs will appear in front of you, which you grab and throw. You can make it rain, or place some seeds on the ground and make the animals rush over to you and eat them.

You can also find various light-colored branches around the world, pick them, and have birds fly right over into your hands. Talk about magic! You are living a fairytale and literally have birds singing to you in your hands! Love it.

The space world is something else too, where you can throw full planets into a black hole and each other where they exploded in amazing cosmic stardust. It is something else to play with the planets like with relaxing music in the background.

Can you Meditate in Nature Treks VR?

For those who are truly looking for a meditative experience , Nature Treks VR gives you the ability to meditate in these peaceful places. You can optionally turn on a breathing flower. This outline flower will slowly open and close and you should match your breathing to it. Of course, you can just sit in any of these places and meditate without the flower, just letting nature walk and be around you.

Some Issues in Nature Trek VR

In certain scenes, the world can be quite dark. I imagine this is a limitation of the Oculus Quest 2 more than anything else. It can be really hard in some places to see any of the animals or things you create, regardless of day or night settings. Blue Moon and Red Savanna were particularly bad for this as you can see. I hope this gets addressed in the future.

Nature Treks VR Multiplayer Experience

There is no multiplayer or party mode in Nature Treks VR. I don’t think there should be.

Does Nature Treks VR cause motion sickness?

Nature Treks VR may cause motion sickness issues so use provided teleportation to limit that effect

[Top 10] Best VR Nature Experiences That Are Amazing

In today’s world, many people don’t have the time to relax because their lives are so busy. This is where virtual reality can help, removing the travelling needed to find amazing nature experiences, as well as the cost. The nature experiences that I’ve listed below are one of one the best selection of nature experiences that you can experience with current VR technology. All of these games cost around the same as a meal deal in your local convenience store, but offer so much more. If you’re looking for solutions to become less stressed with the help of VR, then you’ve come to the right place.

10. Nature TreksVR

Nature TreksVR takes players to virtual worlds full of life in alternative creative worlds. There’s over 60 different animals, the ability to explore the world, control of both the weather and time of day, 15 environments, and over 500 locations that span across 10km. This is a wonderful game to help users escape into a world of relaxation at a low price of £7.99. Current players praise the game for it’s realism, so I highly recommend checking this one out. The developers are also working on a more modern version of the game, and will be releasing it in December 2021. This game comes with a lot more features and environments for users to explore, so I’d suggest that you add it to your wishlist on Steam if you haven’t already.

9. Sphaeres

Sphaeres takes VR users to the real world, allowing them to explore 360 videos of amazing places all over the world. Their high quality 360 cameras. Interestingly, each experience has to be bought separately for £0.79, which isn’t a bad deal for the content and footage that you receive. It also appears as though they have an abundance of experiences for users to try, so go have a look if you want to see the Sunrise Serenity or travel through London in it’s iconic spots.

8. National Geographic Explore VR

This game does everything it says it does, allowing users to explore two iconic locations on earth. While exploring the amazing place of Antarctica, you’re given a job of finding a lost emperor penguin colony. The game requires players to climb massive ice shelves and survive raging snowstorms in order to find this lost colony. Or, players can visit Machu Picchu, Peru and explore digital constructions of the Inca citadel. The game has received a lot of positive reviews on the Oculus Quest store and is considered a family favourite for many. I would certainly check out this game if you’re looking for some amazing views. 

7. ecosphere

Despite being a collection of 360 videos, ecosphere boasts the best video quality around and strives on making users feel immersed, unlike many of the 360 videos that one can find on Youtube. Players can explore a multitude of locations, such as the great savannahs of Kenya, the rich coral reefs of Raja Ampat, or travel through the ancient jungles of Borneo. Players also get to meet elephants, orangutans, and even manta rays! I for one would check out this game, especially as it’s free on the Oculus store and receives regular updates.

6. Olympia in VR

For users who own an Oculus Go or have Gear VR, I suggest checking out Olympia in VR. This digital reconstruction of Greece has players exploring the Olympic Stadium, the Temple of Hera and the Temple of Zeus. Players can also explore other monuments and buildings, using teleportation to roam the small city. It’s a great historical tool too because of its factual content, and the developers have clearly mentioned that every detail has been researched, approved, and is backed-up by archaeological evidence. This makes the game great for those looking to visit or study about ancient Greece, but don’t expect amazing visuals as the game suffers from poor lighting in open areas.

5. Rome Reborn: The Pantheon

This game is a digital reconstruction of ancient Rome, focusing on the ancient city and Pantheon. Players get to explore both the forecourt and sanctuary, learning about the decoration, history, and design of the place, as well as the people who once lived within it. Despite only being available on the Oculus Go and Quest 2, it’s a great Nature experience for those looking to travel back in time and understand the history of Ancient Rome.

4. Lights over Lapland

This VR experience is a five-minute experience that lets users watch a series of amazingly high-quality 360-degree videos. From starting in an ice hotel that’s located in Abisko national park, the player is transported by sleigh to Arctic forests near the base of Mount Nuolja. From here, users can watch timelapses of the Northern lights as they pass overhead. Users can view the Northern Lights from Iceland, Yamal, Russia, and in Norway. All from the comfort of your home.

3. Gala360 – Travel & Relax

A popular app for the Oculus Go, users can see professional 6K resolution 360 photos and 5K 360 relaxation videos that show the beauties of the world from an insane number of locations. With more than 300 tours, many of which are free, users can visit countlessly interesting places without ever leaving their room. Gala360 also allows users to walk around in some of their tours, and each tour provides interesting information and stories to help educate users. This free app is a must for nature lovers!

2. Nature Treks: Together

This game is one of the best virtual and fully customizable VR nature experiences that will truly blow you away. Designed around creating a world of peace and relaxation, users can explore handcrafted worlds with up to 16 users. Users can get up close with virtual animals and insects and have the power to spawn any natural object that they desire to make each environment their own. In part, the game was developed with the UK government to help those who have suffered isolation or emotional trauma as a result of the covid pandemic and is a wonderful game to help people relax in our stressful world without having to actually travel anywhere.

1. Relax with nature

Relax with nature is a gorgeous app that has a handful of 360 videos for users to relax in. Designed around meditation, users get to enjoy the scenes while listening to high-quality sounds from the environment or listen to quiet music in the background. For £2.29, the game’s price and purpose is excellent for people who have stressful lives. However, many users have complained that they cannot get rid of the virtual buttons once in the scene, taking away their immersion. Other users are also complaining that you only get 4 minutes of video for each scene, making the experiences short and frustrating. The developer is working on fixes though, so the app should work just fine now.

The Best VR Shooter Games For The Meta Quest 2 (AKA The Oculus Quest 2)

Baldur's gate 3's approach to treasure is a great lesson for d&d dms, 9 award-winning games drop to historically low prices for steam summer sale.

The Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro - formally Oculus - is one of the most accessible virtual reality headsets on the market. Its self-contained nature is its primary selling point, but something must be said about its versatility. The headset is a self-contained piece of kit. It can be connected to a PC for a richer experience.

That doesn't stop at the Meta app, either. Here's how to play Steam games using the Meta Quest VR system . The Meta Quest doesn't make it clear that it can play Steam games, but it's a feature in the headset. Luckily, one of the VR headset's best innovations makes this easier than on the original Meta Quest, allowing it to link to a PC wirelessly and play a user's library of games.

The FPS genre is a perfect fit for VR gaming, and these shooter games represent the Meta Quest 2 at its best.

Updated June 28, 2024, by Michael Llewellyn: The Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro headsets are robust devices capable of running impressive and immersive virtual reality worlds. However, the headsets are limited by the power of its Android systems. Thanks to the Steam Link app, players can connect their Meta Quest to their PCs far more easily than previous methods via Air Link. This guide has been updated to replace the Air Link method with the Steam Link and the recommended settings from Steam.

Minimum PC Requirements

Playing Steam Games from a PC to a Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro requires a decent machine and a capable internet connection. Attempting to run Steam games through the Meta Quest without the minimum specs would render them unplayable. Below are the minimum requirements for Steam games on Meta Quest 2 and above.

• OS: Windows 10 or 11.
• Processor: Intel i5-4590 or above. Or AMD Ryzen 5 1500 X or above.
• Graphics: NVIDIA GTX970 and AMD 400 and above.
• Memory: 8GB RAM
• 5 GHZ Wifi for the headset and a wired connection to the PC.

Connecting To The Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro

Before trying to run games from the PC to the Meta Quest 2 and above, you must download the Steam Link app through the Meta Quest headset or use the Meta app. After the installation has been completed, follow the next steps:

• Switch on your Windows PC and ensure it is connected to the same router and network the Meta Quest headset uses.
• Sign into Steam on the PC, place the headset on, and launch the Steam Link app.
• Click start at the onscreen prompt and follow the steps to connect the Meta Quest to your PC.
• In Pairing mode, the Meta Quest will display a security code for confirmation. Input the code on the PC to sync the PC to the headset.

Navigate The Steam Library

With the Steam Link connected to the Meta Quest headset, you can access and select games from your Steam Library. The Meta Quest isn't just limited to playing virtual reality games, it can play regular games with a virtual screen through the lenses.

Settings can be adjusted through Steam Link under the General and Video menus. It is recommended by Steampowered that the Render Resolution not exceed 175%. Additionally, the Encoded Video Size in the Steam Link settings should not surpass an encode size of 1280.

The Virtual Desktop Method

Meta Quest users can try the Virtual Desktop option if the Steam Link is causing issues. To get this working, use the following steps:

• Use this link to download the Virtual Desktop onto the PC .
• Using the Meta Quest headset, purchase the Virtual Desktop from the Meta store.
• Download and launch the app and take note of the username.
• Switch back to the PC, enter the details onto the Virtual Desktop, and wait for the devices to sync up.
• With devices set up and connected, Meta Quest users can navigate their Steam library and play games on the virtual screen inside the Meta Quest headset.

That's all there is to play a Steam game on Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro . It's one of the significant improvements to the new version of the headset, as the original Quest could only play Steam games with an expensive cable to be able to do so.

Echo VR Is A Zero-G Sports Experience

Dive into thrilling zero-gravity competition, playstation vr2 vs. meta quest 2 - which one is right for you.

Many gamers out there might be looking to finally get a VR system. Here's an in-depth comparison of two of the best headsets out there.

Echo VR , one of the most unique and thrilling free games for Meta Quest 2, is a heart-pounding fusion of ultimate frisbee and zero-gravity movement. It creates an engaging and competitive sports experience in virtual reality. Equipped with thrusters and boosters, players glide, spin, and soar through a futuristic arena, aiming to score points by throwing a disc into the opposing team's goal.

With Echo VR , the thrill of the game is not just in the competition, but also in the journey of mastering it. The game's intuitive controls and physics-based gameplay make it a breeze to pick up, yet the challenge to master it ensures hours of fun and replayability. Offering both casual and competitive play, with various modes to suit different skill levels, Echo VR provides an exciting and immersive way to experience sports in VR.

Bait! Is A Surprisingly Deep Multiplayer Fishing Game

Cast a line and reel in fun with friends.

Fishing games have always been a popular form of entertainment, but Bait! takes VR immersion to the next level. With a visual aesthetic perfect for anime lovers , this free Meta Quest 2 game tasks players with saving a struggling aquarium by catching rare fish and returning them to be admired by customers.

Bait! has over 60 types of sea creatures and seven lakes to visit. It layers players customize their fishing rods, lures, reels, bobbers, etc. For no cost, there's even a 4-12 multiplayer co-op mode that includes tournaments and several minigames like rock skipping, boat racing, and other socially interactive missions. While it may seem simple at first glance, Bait! is surprisingly complex, but extremely fun and a relaxing way to unwind.

Ancient Dungeon Is Perfect For Roguelike Fans

Conquer the depths in this roguelike challenge.

Ancient Dungeon is a physics-based roguelite dungeon crawler for Meta Quest 2. Players explore a dungeon to claim the blood of the Beast or to uncover more about its storied past. It has many common design elements to roguelites, such as procedural generation, high replayability, and a gradual sense of progression. Ancient Dungeon has a paid version, but its free beta has lots of content in its own right.

However, Ancient Dungeon sets itself apart with its minute-to-minute gameplay. VR controls go perfectly with roguelite exploration and combat. Players fight enemies with their own movements and a sword. Much of the environment can be interacted with in a way few genres can offer. For roguelite fans, Ancient Dungeon is one of the best Meta Quest 2 games, and the beta is free.

Pioneer: Endless Journey Is An FPS Roguelike That Takes Place In The Sky

Blast off on a colorful adventure.

Although it's not the most complex roguelike, Pioneer: Endless Journey offers a fun and colorful experience for absolutely free. Taking place on a floating island, players collect and combine various pistol parts to personalize their combat experience. Fight against snakes, plants, rat moles, and more while bouncing through various levels and collecting randomized upgrades.

Each run in Pioneer: Endless Journey features an entirely different, randomized map with varied enemies and upgrades, ensuring no two runs are the same. Its cartoony art style is charming and helps give Pioneer: Endless Journey style while working on a free-to-play budget, making it one of the best free Meta Quest 2 games.

Elixir Is A Hands-On Potion Crafting Game

Become a master alchemist with immersive potion brewing.

Elixir is arguably one of the most original and exciting free Meta Quest 2 games. It takes immersive VR hand tracking to the next level. Players assume the role of a sorcerer's apprentice and physically use their hands to craft magical potions while looking after their trainer's dragons.

Elixir is an excellent game for the whole family to enjoy, and one of the few titles on the market that is high quality and free of cost. Before the advent of hand-tracking technology, VR games depended on movement and spatial relations. Elixir is literally more of a hands-on experience that feels intuitive and realistic.
