One of the best features of google earth is the experimental human scale mode. You can go from feeling like Godzilla in a miniature New York to feeling like Superman flying over it. It’s pretty jarring if you get vertigo though
I was hesitant to get Wander on Quest (I have GE on my Rift S) but I must say I enjoy it more than GE. The main reason is that I am not tethered to a cable really, but I find the controls better and the experience better overall.
I'm wondering what will happen to Wander when the developers will stop paying the licence to Google, or stop maintaining the app when Street view API changes...
Oculus Quest 2, Virtual Desktop, Steam App and Google Earth. Can literally walk around the house whilst in another country. Set graphics to render at 500% (depending on computer power ability) and you have something that looks almost, if not, extremely convincing to that of real life. Only issue is the street view images at times are taken on different years. One minute a building is there, next minute it is under construction. Google Earth is my winner.
I cant wait till we're sitting on VR doing classrooms and working on Education because it would be alot easier to do it in VR than out in the world thats turning into a warzone
On the ads for Wander they make it seem like u can fly around like in the Google VR. Wander is just Google earth on your cellphone. I feel I got fleeced!!!
Wander was free I think when I was on Gear VR so I have not been thinking about purchasing it on Quest. But now I kinda miss walking around in Wander. I still fee like I've been to Rome and it's a strange feeling. BTW I love the way you say "enabled" like "unabled" hehe.
We are hoping that Earth VR is expanded to allow native mode in Oculus Quest 2. Seems that Facebooks is moving away from the PC based Rift platform. Do you think that this will happen...or only using Oculus Link thru a PC???
HI @Charlie Martin, love your comment, its uncertain as the Quest 2 will need to go through a number of experiments before they get everything right, but never say never though. For Google Earth you need a really graphics card, so not sure the Q2 can handle it...but maybe they will release a lighter version who knows...
@@ryanncushway8384 dead avenue due to graphics card and more than likely the, cpu and ram too. Check the min spec for occulus rift which is what you'd be running through the quest.
@@ryanncushway8384 it's demanding kit, you basically playing two independent screens at consistently high frame rates. My Strix 1660TI and Ryzen 2700x is fine. But that's a pc.
Great video, thanks. You totally sold it for me. I'm going to buy it now. The videos in Occulus are so short and lack detail so I never know which ones I might like.
Can I view outside of our solar system with Google Earth? I want to assume no because "Earth" is in the name. But thought I'd ask. Have even looking for something where I can relax in space and see the vaste beauty space has to offer while laying back smoking a joint. Sadly I don't have a PC, have seen some of the link cable options.
0:46 that's a film location for Hogwarts right? Looks like the outdoor hallways they'd always walk down. Like in that scene where the gang are walking and then Malfoy is picking on someone or something.
It was working fine for me for the first 5 months of having my Oculus Go. Now, it freezes and has the blue download circle. I tried uninstalling it, and lost a of my saves. When I came back in, it still didn't work. I don't know who to teach out to about this.
@@xressentials oh no, that explains it then. The Wander App was my go to app for the Oculus Go. Man, that stinks. I was able to see neighborhoods I lived in since 2006 and how much it changed through the years. What a bummer.
When a future wireless portable device ( like a quest2 or smthin) can run GE with those graphics without link, thats when we know its time for the mainstream to get into VR. Till then, were not getting a pc just for this 360 street video non immersive wanderer my ass. Hopefully soon tho. Were patient
@@w1shudabe but can the new processor on the quest2 really run apps advanced enough? Still can't run half life alyx, quill or Google earth vr from what i saw (without link i mean). Maybe once horizons out we will see if its worth it. But sure, q2 is a good improvement, just not sure if itll be the one that will make vr mainstream. Might need longer. What could be cool is more focus on vr apps one can experience static. Meaning without moving head, body and arms. We get the novelty of 6dof but some just want to play 3d games in bed
Hi, thanks for watching, you may want to check the date of the video. You'll find its quite old, and these things have been fixed already on future videos.
I love using these vr games? Idk I call them apps lol but anyways I love using them to go back to places I’ve been or places I wish I could go and it just is so peaceful
Great video, merci! The interface I saw in Oculus Quest 2 looks nothing like your video. Is it because of the device, or did they change the app? I hope multiplayer is still there. It would be my top desired feature beyond the basic concept.
It seems like guy likes Quest and Wander and that's why he made the video. It's not really a fair comparison. I tried the Quest, and the graphics quality compared to the Occulus Rift-S was very poor.
Thanks for this video. I don't see the link to the Wander getting started tutorial you're talking about (I just installed it on the Oculus Quest 2 but I don't know how to use it yet and so I can't do a lot of stuf
I get VR sickness with my ogQuest with things that are not particularly engaging even after a year and yet when streaming through VD to my headset it is far less of a problem? Never tried Wander for this reason but I was fine with Google Earth.
This is the second video in which the music associated with the numbers used for the list is so unnecessarily loud and grating. Makes a person want to turn the video off halfway through...
@@xressentials I want to purchase a Quest 2 but I definitely want to use GE on it. Do you know of a way or a hack to get it to work on Quest 2? Great video btw
very nice video and it was fun but this music bruh im tryna explore the world not be fighting in a seige 💀 EDIT: ok phew it relaxed, but yeah very interesting :D

Hello sir
My question is in Google Earth VR how to distance in I am present in location
I just LOVE Wander on Quest. I have "visited" so many countries already. It cured my nostalgia for places I once used to live at. Simply amazing!
That's awesome, thanks for sharing
Can you walk around in it though?
@@butterflymoon6368 no
@@butterflymoon6368 Yes
That is great, makes me want to download it and visit some favorites!

They are difficult to compare, in my opinion.
You don't have to use a cable to enjoy Google Earth. It works perfectly with Air Link.
Thanks for the comparison. Kind of painful paying for basically a fancy version of google streetview, but will consider it for the cool factor.
Thanks for your comment, not sure its a more fancy, Google Earth VR is really awesome :)
@@xressentials so its better google earth or wander
Just some constructive feedback: I found the transition music between numbered segments very annoying. Maybe if the volume matched it would be better?
yep you're probably right, this has been rectified in newer videos :) Thanks for the feedback though
Dear lord, the music volume jumping is HORRIBLE
i was just about to say LOL......
What’s the in app resolution? Thanks,
Looks Wonderful... BUT... Is it VR 3D ???
Google earth is amazing
If wander added a little notification button on the multi-player icon that indicated people were in open rooms, more people would use multi-player.
How about nat geo? Is it better than google earth?
It’s different
I'm wondering what will happen to Wander when the developers will stop paying the licence to Google, or stop maintaining the app when Street view API changes...
interesting
Google could purchase Wander like that did Waze
1:12 imagine you can do that in reallife
I want teleport in real life. I get motion sickness while traveling in real life.

Can we use Google Earth in Oculust Quest 2?
U need pcvr enabled
can you get 'street view' on wander and real word?
Check the video :) all details there
I cant wait till we're sitting on VR doing classrooms and working on Education because it would be alot easier to do it in VR than out in the world thats turning into a warzone
yep!
I was waiting for a video like this
Thanks TomW, glad it helped :)
How do you get Google Earth in oculus quest two
On the ads for Wander they make it seem like u can fly around like in the Google VR. Wander is just Google earth on your cellphone. I feel I got fleeced!!!
Wander Is 3d immagine Like classic game on VR or Is Just a flat Imagine?
VR360
Are you saying that if I downloaded Google Earth VR on a computer through the Oculus App that I can't watch it on Virtual Desktop?
there are compatibility issues - try the steam version first - happy new year 😎
It would be cool if one day you could cruise all the streets GTa style
Sunds great

I couldnt get Google Earth to work on virtual desktop. I met all the specs but for some reason could hear but not see anything.
I can’t remember I think u need us steamvr with VD
Isn't Wander have a flat texture? I mean is google have 3d?
Wander is VR360 GE is 3D and VR360

@@ryanncushway8384 I highly doubt it tbh.

Is it possible now to use google earth on quest 2?...appreciate if you can put the video on it thanks 😊
yes it is but we haven’t purchased Quest 2 so you’ll have to watch the Quest 1 vids :)
Not with the quest alone. You would need to link it to a PC.
Could I also use the android phone ? I used it for many other things
Google earth has a lot of curious blacked out areas. If you try to look at north pole it is blank or has a fake blue image.
Great video, thanks. You totally sold it for me. I'm going to buy it now. The videos in Occulus are so short and lack detail so I never know which ones I might like.

J∆LEKO M∆NN i still think we have quite a while until vr becomes mainstream, at the moment it is good, but not the best.
Is wander images in 3D or just 360?
Pictures
This is my first time watching your video and the transition music is like giving me shock every time and a headache.

Once you are at a location is it only a 360 view or can you walk around?
you can teleport locomotion using the arrows and go on tours, no smooth locomotion though

Never tried Wander for this reason but I was fine with Google Earth.
takes time
hi its been so long , does wander support one account 2 headsets?
Should do until they drop Quest 1 apps. You should be able to port over your apps to Quest 2, or it'll be linked to the same database account
How do you broadcast from quest
Not sure I don’t own a quest anymore
Interesting video, liked the summary at the end, to the point.
Much appreciated brother

Awesome thx ☺️

Simply incredible

Music is stupid, sudden loud after narration.
Sorry about that I improved since
go to malaysian plsplsplspls
nice idea!

I want to get one where I don’t have to travel.
so iv got to buy a £1000 pc to have a good experince? to have google earth. so many downs for oculus quest2
Am not sure of the prices in the UK, but yea you'll need a PC to run it.
Love the video.........
awesome thanks :)
So you’re just checking out the world in images? Ehh I’ll buy it when we can check the world out live
