‘Google Earth VR’ Spiritual Successor Brings Earth-scale Exploration to Quest & Vision Pro
FLY, a new VR app available on Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3, and Vision Pro, revitalizes the immersive experience of exploring Google Earth in 3D. Unlike Google Earth VR, which had users floating as a disembodied camera, FLY allows players to pilot a drone, enhancing the sense of exploration. Developed by VirZOOM, the app leverages Google Earth's 3D Map Tiles to offer detailed and seamless global exploration. Initially conceived in 2018 in collaboration with Google, the project was shelved due to a pause in Google Earth's API development. With the recent release of the Google Earth Tiles API, the project was revived and optimized for standalone headsets. For the full story, visit Road to VR.
