This looks amazing... now I just need to save $800 for an HTC Vive.

you never built a pc, did you?
Bendie what a dumb question, of course I did but ya know not all people know about PC's and processors, video cards, graphics cards and how to build them
I have built many. And no, it's not complicated, difficult or time consuming. Beats the pants off of consoles too.
Trolololol. Be silent, console peasant.
I had to google this because today was the first time I experienced this with VR and WOW!!!!!!!!!! I had NO IDEA that technology had advanced this far! At one point I looked from above Earth and I swooshed down and my stomached just dropped and I had to slow down. I fount my house and WOW!!! Its just a WHOLE NEW perspective on life. Its like we are all living on this planet and we are so tiny but I realized that even though we are tiny, we can create strong and powerful effects that can ripple across the world!
Bruh, this app is 7 years old..........
So according to your conspiracy theory how many years have to pass after it’s no longer impressive? @@evolicious
@@KeithAvila Where TF is the "conspiracy theory"? lmfao.
FYI, this app is long abandoned by Google 5 years ago. It's literally abandonware. Google didn't think it was impressive 5 years ago either. Too bad, this app had potential.
just got my vr headset this is one of the first things im
going to try
Now tell us how much it isn't anything like this BS promo video, but an eiree, weird low resolution N64 quality visuals.
we need something like this for the night sky
Roflll Koptrrr I'm using Sky View actually ! But in VR it would be something different ! I'll check this one out though... thanks !
Go outside
Kartpal Well outside is good but come on !! really ? outside ? xD

Imagine if this turned into the basis for some sort of Metaverse. That could be amazing!

I have a feeling that this sort of thing could be addictive. Spend a few hours having complete freedom to see the world in any way you choose only to go back to taking 1 step at a time. In some sense it reminds me of inception.....getting lost in a dream because its just that much better.

erm. what about daydream vr? you know, your own virtual reality platform?
Marksy72 day dream vr headset is for your phone... this is the next level, true vr. there's only so much a phone can do before it can't process fast enough...
Marksy72 LOL dumb comment
But the remote in the video is clearly the Daydream controller, so maybe?
I'm pretty sure a phone can't handle these graphics+motion detection at the same time now.. maybe in like 5-10 years..

This was only a matter of time. Google Earth and VR are a natural match. Eventually we’ll be able to experience the entire planet via VR 60 or 90 fps. Love it.
Eventually? It's already the whole planet in 90 fps.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 7 years later and Google Earth VR still looks like a terrible ultra LOW resolution, PlayStation 1 quality experience.
This is why I love Google, they know the htc vive is gonna be the best way to experience this so far, so they display that instead of the cardboard. its other things like their version of skype being available on iphones etc

Did you ever actually try turning on the 3D city models in Earth? It takes a really long time to load the textures.

Not some knockoff, buggy 3rd party indie app.
Well I know you can on mobile VR but youre sort of right when it comes to high end VR. So yes I agree

@@artistfrank8511 End it all buddy
What’s the fidelity of the graphics like when actually using the app? Recently my stepson introduced me to PSVR2, and although it’s pretty damn cool and impressive, the visual fidelity is still nowhere close to the graphics of the regular ps5 experience.
@@rogermoreno1152 Typically you will see a little more bottlenecking graphically on VR due to a closer view of the screen and the console having to render 2 1080p monitors all the while tracking gyro and location in space. Also, the VR game space is just generally newer, so you might not see as high quality games as you do with AAA releases on standard consoles.
I can't wait to stomp around Tokyo like Godzilla!!! This is the best news of my day! :D

@@hor80 how?
Mom! It should be my next birthday gift...!!!!
If there is any one app that must be experienced in VR its Google earth VR. If you already like Google Earth in general , then get ready to have your socks blown off, as you transported inside that virtual world full immersive presence. Its insane. More over they mixed the virtual world along side the real world via photogrammetry satellite data capture, and full on photography street view. so you can travel places you now virtually and then switch to the real imagery if so desired. Its so cool visiting the places you already know quite well, as it enables you to accurately judge just how well their process has achieved. you feel like your transported back into that environment. Often you will find low res geometry capture, but it matters little when overall you get that sense that scale and proportions are indeed accurate to that of the real world. i cant imagine what the future will hold, cameras around the world not just capturing regular imagery but also lidar data. in truth one could see this extending to real times data streams. It already exists but not for consumer level access. LEts not forget Google earth itself use to be Keyhole, for the military.
*Could you even imagine this level of details 3 years ago? O_o*
*I can't wait to see what it'll be like in 10 years!!!*
Well, it turns out that in 10 years...
it's sadly not much more than abandonware.
@@Something_Disgusting google has been experimenting with nerfs (neural radiance fields)
from nerfs, a french team created gaussian splatting (very fast and high quality) although google aren't done with nerfs yet, google made real time demos that even works on mobile devices and display a lot of details
Google has shown demos of nerfs showing the inside of restaurants and entire streets in the past.
Do not despair, google earth, street view and the many different forms of real world mapping are going to be wild!
Even in 2024 it feels so weird flying around the globe see what there is in this big blue orb we live on

Really small part of you guys actually realize how hard is it to make such a project real. It's something that 99.9% of the people will never be capable of realizing how hard is it to make such a thing. And I'm really glad that there is people that are boosting the tech to a completely new level every single year.

oh yeah...
Meep Ster why would you spend $2000 on travelling the world when you could spend $2000 dollars on travelling the world... in vr?
($1200 for the pc)
Ludde_12345 I already own a VR capable pc and looking to buy a htc vive. Also, one international plane ticket is roughly 1000 dollars assuming you are flying across the ocean. If you just want to go to Paris, LA, and Sydney, and then back to Paris, thats roughly 4000 dollars. Plus hotel, baggage, food, inflight entertainment, tourist stuff, etc.
You can actually build a VR ready PC for about $600. As low as $500 if you're using the Oculus Rift.

Yes! Yes! Effing, YES!!!!!!! ...NOW I have the PERFECT reason to get a VR headset!!!!!!!!!!! I saw her grab the sun and move it in the sky for the time of day and it brought tears to my eyes, its so effing AWESOME!!!
Wow if only this was released before I sold my Vive, I might have changed my mind...
May I ask, why did you sell it? I have been looking into buying one but I feel that the resolution may be a bit too low- I have been spoilt with a 3440x1440 ultra wide monitor.
It varies from people, many with the Vive I heard love it, but for me although some VR contents are cool, most tend to last very short (you can see Steam reviews play time). More reasons would be my play area is under room scale so the wires are really annoying and I kept bump into stuff, and it's just that I need money more at this moment :)
Also yes the resolution isn't good when I'm looking at sedentary stuff with very obvious screen door effect; when I'm moving or it's dark it's pretty immersive (but then again limited to small play area which became impractical to me)
Andy Lee thanks for the reply! Yeah the low playtimes is something I noticed when checking out the earthvr steam page- 0.1 hours on record- lol. The conundrum is that i have a gtx980 which i feel like would be wasted if I didnt put it to good use, as when vr gets higher resolution (likely gen 3 vr: 2-3 years away) my 980 will be too weak and irrelevant. I also am also thinking of renting my vive out, charging people about 10 bucks for an hour or two of gameplay. This could compensate for half of the purchase cost, and i would just sell it when gen 2 (probabally wireless) comes out. Did you have many friends who showed much intrest in trying out your vive? Lastly, have you trued any source engine games (portal, tf2 ect), i play tf2 alot and am wondering if first person shooters work well in vr. Thanks!!!
980 is great for high end desktop games! I had 970 and the fan kicks in loud with many games in ultra settings. Oculus Rift has new tech which enables 960 to run it so can't say for sure but I'd guess 980 can handle next gen if Vive follow up something similar.
Some friends that asked about the Vive are mostly pc gamers or just curious what VR is. Once a friend came to try it, we moved all the stuff out to make it room scale, he ended up playing The Lab Longbow for straight 4 hours lol (by then I only played 2), it was late at night so could've been longer.
I heard Onward is the top VR FPS game. Haven't played it yet but look at that steam play time compared to other titles. xD
It would be awesome if it also includes going into buildings like a tourist would from the streets. This obviously would require businesses and tourist site to allow for 3D scans to be made and integrated into google earth. For photographers and cinematographers this is a great tool for location scouting.
Or they could crowdsource it from random people and have Google Earth be open source and decentralized. That way they can bypass any laws and nobody can do anything.
Great to see some Google stuff on Steam.
Tilt brush is already on steam for months
But that was made by a small indie team later acquired by Google.
David Chien I know that, and I like that they continue with that trend.
it would be cool if there were like "monuments" or like little info boxes integrated in the map that you could turn on and off so like you could be looking around some where and ask, like oh whats this mountain, or whats this building, or whats the significance of this rail road and a Wikipedia article or something could pop up. Sort of like a guided tour of the entire earth in VR
Perfect. Now I never have to leave the house.
please please release a version for quest!!!
You can connect your quest to your pc but it has to be decent to work and you need a cable

. .. plus add gigabit connection to make sure you can buffer all that. ..
I've got that :) Here in France with the ISP Free for €9.99/month (1Gbps down / 200 Mbps up, no cap)
Come on man. Are we living on the same planet? You don't actually have 1Gbps down / 200 Mbps up, no cap for 9.99 euros/month! Not even Larry Page in Google headquarters has that with that price. That's the theoretical speed limit. How much do you actually get? If I am wrong I am moving to France next week.

This is amazing! Sadly, i can`t afford a VR
Now you can. Oculus Quest 2 is a lot cheaper.
@dev null yes.
then u can just use oculus link
It is really such a shame that this app has received no updates in so long. You need to release this as open source so the community can continue to update and improve the experience. So many simple features I would love to see. C'mon, you open sourced tilt brush ...
Bump
@@kylepope6805 they have at least allowed Google Earth data to be used via API, so really anyone could create their own version of this. It would be pretty expensive to host, though. Still, such a shame that Google not only let this killer app waste away collecting dust, they abandoned pretty much anything good they were doing in the VR space.
@davethenerd42 Google is evil. They only care about money. It's why they are having massive braindrain. Anyone with any engineerring talent or experince is leaving the company.

The question is, will the game look as good as it does in the trailer?
Yes! It does depend on the density of Google's 3D survey data for the area you're in. In big cities like NYC and Tokyo etc, it looks excellent. But in more remote areas the 3D rendering is lower fidelity.
Why has no one ever wondered that it's pretty scary Google has so much Data about the world, that they can literally simulate the world.
Soon VR will be so advanced you will feel the heat of where you are and much you won't even need to go on a plane or boat.

Why have you removed the turn function in Oculus Rift S? I used to be able to turn L/R with the controller but now there is only forward and reverse. Surely you can't expect us to turn solely by physically turning right? Some of us still have cables that we get wrapped up in which makes controller turning much better.
this is actually nice, wow!
Thank you Google, this is mindblowing! The experience on the Vive is amazing...for the eskepticals... this is just the beginning, display resolutions are getting better, 4k, 8k , 10k ...24k ( eye detail) 3d/ Photogrammetry environments right now and soon video environments are just around the corner.

Say no more to tourism.
I think this will increase tourism! you will discover places you never thought of visiting before, and want to go there!
Google just single-handedly killed the Airline industry.
Seeing an image, or a rendered VR world, is never as good as the real thing. Especially when a big part is the people. I don't think this will have as big of an effect as you suggest it will.
***** Yeah. Plus, a trip isn't just to see memorable landmarks. People also eat the food there, interact with the people, go to resorts, etc. It's a vacation -- and unless VR can make make up for all of the many positive aspects of tourism, this won't even come close to the millions of people who visit other countries annually.
Even sex tourism?

so you are lazy superman
or not rich to visit for example paris?
visit closest dump = Paris.. :(
Actually international travel isnot a "rich person" thing these days. With apps like skyscanner and hostels or even bnb if you want your own place. A trip from the states to Paris could be as cheap as 1500 dollars at the right time.. Especially now with euro almost matching the dollar. This of course is assuming your from the states.
You can travel from Europe to USA (California) for just 300 eur both ways. Flying is cheap these days.
It's weird to actually experience what's real but virtually.
Man guys, RIFTTTTTTTTT!!! Please!! I love just browsing around in Google Earth and visit places, one of my favorite "leisure apps" when I don't have anything else to do. Please, please have this come out for the Rift w/ Touch soon. Thanks!!
Upd: There IS a patch out in the meantime which makes it *also work with the Rift*, and according to reports also works with Touch or Razr Hydra. This is all great and fantastic, but what is not that my Rift will likely only come tomorrow or Monday. GRRRR :) (Check reddit for the patch/.dll).

THANK YOU GOOGLE AND WE NEED MORE.
When we can expect a update when you can for example change the years of street view, and have a hybrid maps in fly mode?
Why are they showing this on Vive and not the new Daydream VR?
RAIN the controller is the daydream one. Probably they wanted to underline it is available on both but in the end the best experience will be on a dedicated vr device.
the controller is not the daydream one. if you look at the virtual controller @ 0:26 it has buttons above and below the touchpad which is what the Vive controllers have
Probably because Daydream doesn't have positional tracking for the headset and the controller (they can only rotate) and has a very limited performance (smartphone and VR has to run at high resolution and high framerate).
BECAUSE YOUR PHONE IS TRASH! (doesn't have a good enough graphics card and not good enough CPU... or RAM... or harddrive)
