Google Earth VR places you above a virtual model of Earth, where you can travel between cities, landmarks, and natural features from a first-person VR perspective.
Fly over landscapes, zoom from planetary views into neighborhoods, and explore selected locations through Street View imagery. You can also visit hand-picked destinations on cinematic tours.
Change the viewing scale to see places as miniature terrain or at human scale. The experience centers on open exploration rather than objectives or a fixed progression path.
Players often enjoy the freedom to explore faraway destinations and familiar neighborhoods from inside VR, with the shift from a planet-sized view to human scale standing out as especially memorable. Reviews also value its use for casual virtual travel, geography, and showing VR to others. Some criticize the app's aging controls and uneven or unavailable imagery.
