About The VU

Is it a field explorer or a precision point cloud modeling tool? Is it a three dimensional Spirograph or a fun way to play in a virtual sandbox without all that messy cleanup? Is it way to use virtual reality to explore of the fundamental composition of the universe or is it more like an abstract flight simulator?

Can my laptop run The VU?

The same check applies — enter the parts your laptop actually contains. Be aware that a laptop graphics chip is usually slower than the desktop card it shares a name with, because the manufacturer sets a lower power limit. A laptop advertising the NVIDIA GeF named here may therefore fall somewhat short of it in practice, and sustained performance drops further as the machine heats up. Treat a borderline laptop result as optimistic rather than assured.
