Awake Heart
What it is: Awake Heart is an educational VR experience developed by AltLab VR, available on Meta Quest and Microsoft Store. It takes users on an immersive journey through the human heart.
Key Features:
- Lets you explore a detailed, accurate 3D representation of the human heart
- Covers the heart through three lenses: anatomy, physiology, and electrical activity
- Includes interactive puzzles to test and reinforce what you’ve learned
- Designed for anyone curious about how the human heart works — students, medical learners, or just the generally curious
Platform: Available on Meta Quest (via the Meta Store and SideQuest) and on Windows Mixed Reality via the Microsoft Store.
Related App: The developers also made Awake ECG, a companion experience focused specifically on ECG measurements, natural pacemakers, and the electrical signals that drive the heart’s contractions.
Reception: Users have praised it for being both visually impressive and educationally well-presented, with one reviewer calling it “a pleasant surprise” that excelled both graphically and in its presentation.
It’s generally regarded as one of the better biology/anatomy educational VR apps available for standalone headsets like the Meta Quest.
