You Can Explore Google Earth In VR For Free, If You Have A Vive
If you're looking for something to do with your newly-purchased (or months-old) HTC Vive, you may want to consider exploring our entire planet.
Google has released a Google Earth VR app on Steam, for free. The app uses Google's image data of Earth to let you fly around the planet or walk at ground level, allowing you to virtually travel to the pyramids of Egypt or fact-check whether the K Mart near the Subway you remember going to years ago is still there.
You can download the app, which requires the Vive in order to use, on its official Steam page. You can watch a trailer for the app below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
