One thing that comes to mind and that sticks out, because it's not something that I expected:
Google Earth has a VR mode.
There is an intro "animation", where you get teleported to various landmarks. From cities, to deserts to mount everest.
But at the end, it places you into space, with the earth in front of you. Basically in touching distance.
It was a moment of pure, unexpected overview effect.
I basically just stood there for what must have been a minute at least and was very much not expecting such an emotion
Google Earth in VR is a transformative experience. I encourage everyone to try it if they ever can. I cannot overstate how amazing it is
That's interesting. If I ever get access to some good VR goggles I'll give it a shot
depending on the setup, it could be a bit tricky. I think it never got updated since the release during HTC Vive times.
But I think anything SteamVR supported should work.
It's a bummer that it's basically abandoned. Even ignoring above experience, I spent hours just flying around the planet, looking at cities the size of toys
