Evaluation

Construct VR is a short-form volumetric VR film (approximately 8 minutes long) that launched on December 23, 2021. It is a single, fixed piece of content — a technology showcase built around a specific short film — and was never designed as a platform for ongoing content updates. The only post-launch developer activity consists of an audio stability patch in November 2021 (pre-release) and a December 16, 2024 announcement that the film was being migrated to ImmersiX, PresenZ's new multi-content app. The ImmersiX post confirms that existing owners retain access via their Steam library, and that the film is now available for free through ImmersiX. The short description on the store now reflects this, reading "Now available for free via ImmersiX." The ImmersiX announcement mentions that "more free content" will be launched via ImmersiX, but this refers to the ImmersiX platform itself — not to any additional content for Construct VR specifically. The film itself remains a fixed 8-minute experience with no announced updates, expansions, or sequels tied to this Steam listing. It launched as a complete product and remains so.

Evidence

Construct VR is described as an 8-minute immersive adaptation of Kevin Margo's short film, presented as a fixed, complete experience showcasing volumetric VR technology.

About this game

Construct VR - the first ever fully immersive Volumetric 6DOF movie

Watch the free demo first to learn more about the technology behind Construct VR.

Construct VR is an experience in the PresenZ movie format, that showcases the technological breakthroughs of VR storytelling through volumetric photorealistic video, powered by V-Nova point cloud compression.
Enter a science-fiction dystopian world, where a robot must fight for his life and the lives of his family. This is the first actual action movie in six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) photorealistic VR, exploring unprecedented and game-changing dimensions for the medium.

FEATURES:

PresenZ’s volumetric movie format, powered by V-Nova compression, allows you to experience unprecedented immersion comfort compared to "standard" VR 360° movies
Position and orientation of the VR headset is tracked at all times inside the movie, allowing you to get closer to objects and characters as well as to look around or behind them, creating a real sense of scale and immersion
6DoF eliminates the motion sickness commonly associated with VR 360° movies
V-Nova’s point cloud compression technology compresses the file to a small enough size to be downloaded and played on standard VR gaming set ups, finally bringing breath-taking immersion experiences to VR Gaming PCs at home

Construct VR, with a runtime of 8 minutes, is an immersive adaption of the short movie created by Kevin Margo. The PresenZ format keeps the original design and visual quality while transforming the short movie into a fully immersive experience.
