Overview

You have probably used the Google Earth API before. There is an extension to the API called Google Earth VR. It lets you explore a virtual version of the Earth that was created using 3D videos and photographs of practically every location on the planet. You can explore almost any place on Earth from a 1st person view or 3D aerial view. It basically takes the standard Google Earth platform and throws a virtual element into it.
Virtual Reality

If you own the right virtual reality hardware, such as Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, then you can use Google Earth VR for free. There are so many ways you can explore the virtual environments of the Earth by using this software and hardware together. You can fly over cities, landmarks, rural locations, and so many other places that you might have dreamed of visiting before.

No matter which location you explore through Google Earth VR, you must wait a few seconds for the images to fully render when you try to view them for the first time. The images appear pixelated until they’re done rendering.

Conclusion

To put it simply, Google Earth VR is a virtual reality version of Google Earth. It is free to download onto your desktop and view it with your favorite VR device. So, there is no reason not to try it. It won’t cost you anything, and it’ll give you new experiences that you’ve always wanted to have.
