Get Lost In Nature With Luke
America’s East Coast is home to some of the most beautiful canyons, beaches, mountains, gorges, mountains, and rivers. It is especially famous during the Fall, when the leaves turn to impossibly beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow. This experience will allow you to visit some of these beautiful locations, hear a guided narration, and get up and even walk about a bit! At a time when travel, especially international travel, is so hard, we want to make you feel truly transported. We want you to feel the vitality, the rawness of these beautiful places in the same way you’d feel if you were visiting these places for the first time. New places will be added frequently, even extending outside the United States. Come and be part of this exciting journey with us!

It's free so definitely give it a try. It was released in 2021 supposedly with the expectation to continue adding content. Unfortunately as it is now May 2025 it appears that did not happen. The preview thumbnails cover I think all of the content within the program.
I think this is the first time I've seen photogrammetry combined with 3D VR Video. It's an interesting approach that helps bring the scene alive but also adds a few jarring artifacts into the scenes. For instance in the valley scene at the very end is a shadow that appears to be a person walking but they never quite get into the light and become distinct. In the same scene the water below flowing though the canyon is cool but the loop is far too short, only a few seconds, and takes away from the effect.
The narration is optional, which I appreciate, as it doesn't add much depth to what is already being seen.
Overall its still quite nice and I would like more content like this with a few tweaks.

Nice to get away to lovely and interesting places. An ocean of calm after a stressful day.

I love this app. I hope the creator sees this review. I have hiked a decent amount of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia through Virginia. I love the scenery and the special places this has offered. I hope to see more locals in the future. I definitely reccomend this app. I give it a solid 8-10. Get it now!

Great immersion from New England and New York State, USA. We need more Apps created with volumetric video capture technology !

It's a beautiful VR experience especially with my new MetaQuest 3. I was not able to see any further scenes besides the river and the ocean shore? I would like to see more added on to this and I would gladly pay for this program. Thanks

It's quite nice! I had a calming time with it, almost fell asleep at the ocean ones lol
Though I was left wishing I could walk around in the spaces more freely (i.e, not constricted to the walkable space in my room and the few bubbles in the areas), I understand the limitations of the medium so I'm not entirely put off by it.
I will say, if anything I appreciate that this is clearly a passion project. The videos narrated by who I assume is Luke are nice to listen to because you can clearly tell he cares about sharing the scenery through this project.
The only thing I will say in terms of negatives (aside from the walking mentioned before) is that it starts you off in a cave to show you the controls. I'm sure many people aren't bothered by this but I wasn't expecting it and had to skip the tutorial on account of my phobia of being trapped in deep caves lol - so just be mindful of that if caves freak you out like they do for me. Additionally, I did notice that the tutorial text fades away without input, which isn't great for the accessibility of slower readers. Thankfully the controls aren't insane so I could figure them out without that, but it does suck knowing that when I open this game I'll have to rush to hit start as soon as I can to get out of the cave.
All in all, it's nice. Hope to see more updates. Maybe a cave-free menu /j
