The Kremer Collection VR Museum - best graphics ever on the Rift?

I'm normally not that much into this kind of art, but I gave it a shot - and I was simply blown away. I never expected that graphics like this was even possible on the Rift, admitted I'm forcing super-sampling 2.0, but still. (Sorry about these Vive trailers, but I couldn't find the Oculus trailer on YouTube.)



Get it here - it's free bucks, you can't even get admission to a real museum for that price 😉

My 5-star review from the Oculus Store:

A must-have for the Oculus Rift!!!
This app probably has the best graphics on the Rift, the paintings are simply out-of-this-world astonishing. Even if you don't care for - or know much about - art, try this app (in the presumably rare case that you don't like it, you can always get a refund). I'm forcing super-sampling 2.0 using Oculus Tray Tool, and not even Lone Echo provides textures like the images shown here. It didn't feel like Virtual Reality - it felt like reality. The graphics are so life-like that I'm not sure seeing the real paintings would provide a significantly better experience than using the this app. In short - I'm totally blown away by the quality of these paintings, it really felt like I was using a headset much better than even the Vive Pro - and I'm not trying to be funny.
Furthermore you get stories told to each painting, so these aren't just paintings, but experiences that come to life. This virtual museum is so much better than most of the art museums I've visited in the real world, and that says a lot. The only annoying thing was teleport movement - I'd suggest that the developers soon support full locomotion as an option; I'm convinced that most visitors would like to walk around, and not to jump around, in such an amazing museum 😉 Congrats to the developers - you truly deserve it, even the wooden and marble floor textures are incredibly awesome - and my Touch controllers are made of GOLD, who can top that?! 🙂
(Note: Some Steam users complained about having to log in or having to create an account to use this app, this have been completely removed in the Oculus version, thus Oculus users have instant access to everything)

The Silence of the Frames 😂 

 

Well, the title refers to me getting the RTX 3090. The Kremer Collection is still my favorite art collection in VR due to the awesome high-res images. You simply need extremely high levels of super sampling to truly enjoy the images. 

Using the old heavily oc'ed GTX 1080, I could enjoy ss 2.0, but with asw 2.0. The frames surrounding the paintings are very elaborate with tons of details, and asw 2.0 just could get it right. Thus the frames easily gave the asw 2.0 away - and cause some flickering. 

 

But now with the RTX 3090, the frames are silent - no more flickering or asw 2.0. I got solid 90 fps using the CV1 ss 2.0. I greatly enjoyed that last evening, watching several paintings. Still totally feels like having your own art museum.  

 

I think the Kremer Collection is now free in the Rift Store - but I bought it when it launched and can't see the price:

- or maybe it was just free for a short time, it's still 10 bucks on Steam - which is very cheap for getting your own art museum 😉

I prefer oled for this app. Pretty sure it was made for oled (Index res 200% impressed me less than CV1 ss 2.0).

Kremer Collection is still my favorite art show in VR - it never stops to amaze. Took a few shots - this is a painting by Rembrandt, might be the most expensive piece in the collection:

Since Kremer uses ultramersion res (=extreme ultra-high resolution) we can go closer:

It seems there was some dispute if the painting was by Rembrandt or by one of his students, but that experts have ruled it's a painting made by the master himself. You can even see the back of the painting:

More images to show the extreme res and immersion-facilitating experience - really feels like you're watching a real paining:

Interestingly, The Kremer Collection is still free in the Rift Store, but costs $10 on Steam. It works perfectly with Revive. All images taken while wearing the Index - using SteamVR res 300% with Revive. Res 300% with a RTX 3090 seems to be the highest I can go for 90 fps - might be able to do res 400% with the Steam version, but that'll cost me 10 bucks 😉
