Google Earth VR release: Come and walk around the world tour!

Google Earth is a good helper for many geography enthusiasts to “explore” the earth. More exciting experiences have now arrived. Google officially announced today that Google Earth has provided VR virtual reality support.

Google said that Google Earth VR has now included 500 million square kilometers of real terrain and street views from the earth. Users can wear VR devices to visit the Amazon River, the center of Manhattan, Roman monuments or any corner of the world.

Of course, users can also take a look at the blue planet where we are from the perspective of space. The experience is just like oneself really floating in the universe.

At present, Google Earth VR has already landed on the Steam platform (acquisition address), and it is free and compatible with the HTC Vive headset. Subsequently, Google will add more virtual reality device support for Google Earth VR, such as Google Daydream and so on.
