I´m new to the VR world. One thing I enjoy doing with my Pico is to use Wander and just enjoy foreign countries through the google streetview.
I was wondering though if there are ways to get to experience real places, but in 3D. I´m aware that it is unrealistic to expect such a thing at street view scale. But maybe it exists for single places?
Google Earth VR?
Yeah, being on the street level is a little funky, as the 3D models are all kinds of warped, but flying over cities or sitting on a tall building and looking around is amazing, especially if you enable correct scaling.
If you have a good enough PC, there are some SteamVR Home World from real places. They were taken using photogrammetry. Iirc there is one taken at a river bank in London and one somewhere in Iceland. There are many more user generated environments in the workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=250820&searchtext=&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=trend§ion=readytouseitems&requiredtags[]=Destination&created_date_range_filter_start=0&created_date_range_filter_end=0&updated_date_range_filter_start=0&updated_date_range_filter_end=0
