theBlu Review
theBlu is an interactive screensaver that allows you to explore the oceans and contribute to ocean conservation. With mesmerizing and fun exploration, theBlu offers a unique experience for users. You can launch it as an app if you don't want to wait for the screensaver to activate. Upon launching, you are greeted with soothing music and an expansive ocean view. You have the option to create an account with theBlu or use Facebook Connect to log in. Purchasing more fish and habitats is also possible, and you can take snapshots and share your discoveries with friends.
While there are no specific objectives in theBlu, the immersive world keeps users engaged as they wander aimlessly, discovering new fish and plants. TheBlu keeps track of the plants and animals you find in a log book, adding a sense of achievement. The free version of theBlu offers a limited selection of fish and habitats, with the option to unlock more in the full version. Additionally, theBlu uses a credit system that allows you to purchase credits with real money. A portion of the profits from these purchases goes towards organizations dedicated to oceanic conservation.
However, theBlu could benefit from more interactive media such as audio and video information about the fish. While the 3D rendering of the ocean and fish is visually appealing, it would be even more engaging to have access to videos showcasing real-life underwater scenes. It is worth noting that theBlu has a development community on their website, where users can contribute to modeling items in the app.
Overall, theBlu is an innovative screensaver and application that raises awareness for ocean preservation, providing an enjoyable and educational experience.
