New DLC is out today for the virtual reality experience called TimeLab. Starting today, you can go aboard LZ 129, the zeppelin that is better known as the Hindenburg. You will get to explore the ship's interior in full VR, take a gander at New York City's skyline circa 1936, and then watch the full disaster up close.
Yes, this is real. It can be yours for $9.99, the cost of the Hidenburg DLC itself as TimeLab itself is free to download.
TimeLab is less of a game and more of a teaching tool for use with VR devices. Prior to the Hidenburg content coming out today, TimeLab released free content that took you into the Apollo 11 moon landing and Falkenstein, King Ludwig II's castle.
The airship and the scenery can also be viewed from the outside - when the “Hindenburg” flies over the Atlantic on its approach to the mainland or glides majestically over the skyscrapers of New York City in 1936. Players will also witness how the Zeppelin suddenly bursts into flames on May 6, 1937 during a scheduled flight from Frankfurt, Germany while landing over Lakehurst, USA. The catastrophe is accompanied by the original voice of radio journalist Herbert Morrison, who followed the events on site and whose emotional report is now regarded as the beginning of modern disaster journalism.
Players can also steer their own airship between the skyscrapers, avoid dangers and collect points in the mini-game “Skywave”, also included in the DLC.
