@stux so cool. Tnx for sharing

Michelle Haskew

@stux I’ve done it in real life - it was hot but amazing!

Az_The nicest of the damned.

@stux Felt like I should have been rolling dice to avoid traps every few feet.

@stux does this work with VR goggles? I would never be able to handle the claustrophobia in real life but like that VR can let me visit places I wouldn’t be able to otherwise.

Nicole

@stux I love this because with my claustrophobia, I would simply never.

@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote

@stux When you do things in tight enclosed spaces could you consider a trigger warning.

Jaymew

Dr.Susan Bushinski

@stux very ver cool thanks for sharing - so are we all virtually cursed?

Mary Ann Ritter Wilson

@stux so cool! I was there two weeks ago, was told that it was a difficult journey for an older person with back issues so I didn’t go in. Thanks for me experience this!

@stux Part of me is thinking that this really could be spiced up with some Doom monsters.

William Aycock

Alice. 🇨🇦

@stux It’s too fast! How can I slow it down?

Steve Green

@stux wonderful, could never find the nerve to go far into the corridors.

snlug

@stux now that’s neat

extraneous

@stux Ooooh looking forward to viewing that in VR later!

smellsofbikes

@stux @SekhmetMedusa definitely relevant if you haven't already seen it.

Lorry

@stux I wonder if they have a VR version of that...

I only bought my first so I could watch Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams.

@stux thanx for sharing!!!

Amazing what #technology can do ✨

KatSpoonanana

@stux Amazing thanks for sharing. My son will love this!

Emma 💛💙🇬🇧🇩🇰🇪🇺

@stux which is great, cos going in in real life is really unpleasant! 😆

Only one way in and out, so everyone’s trying to squeeze past each other. Hot, sweaty, smelly, and you are crouched down most of the time!

Obviously amazing to be in the room in the centre - but getting there and back is grim!
