What Google Earth VR is

Google Earth VR is a free Windows app for exploring cities, landmarks, and natural scenery in virtual reality. Users can fly over cities, stand on high peaks, and travel into space. Cinematic tours and selected destinations include the Amazon River, Manhattan skyline, Grand Canyon, and Swiss Alps. Google is listed as the developer and publisher, and the app supports single-player use and tracked controllers. It is VR-only and requires a headset, with listed support for SteamVR or Oculus PC. Minimum PC requirements include 64-bit Windows, 8 GB RAM, a GTX 970 or Radeon R9 Fury equivalent, broadband internet, and 4 GB of storage. Google Earth VR focuses on virtual exploration; other Google Earth offerings describe satellite imagery, 3D terrain and buildings in hundreds of cities, Street View, and collaborative mapping. Google Earth Pro for desktop supports historical imagery and GIS data import and export. The Help page also describes past imagery timelines and importing GPS tracks or other time-related data.
