Travel the world in VR with a free-to-play casual app that streams over 500 360° videos in 4K from countries like Australia, China, Nepal, India, South Korea, and Indonesia. Move your head to highlight destinations, hold the right trigger to spin the earth, press both grip buttons and spread hands to enlarge it, then use the left touchpad to jump to a selected spot. Note that it demands super fast internet and skips Mainland China due to restrictions.
This VR experience suits casual explorers stuck at home with a Vive and limited funds, letting them peek into global cultures through streamed footage without leaving their seat.
Super fast internet
Please note that this app requires a really fast internet connection. All the videos are streamed in 4K resolution.
“If we were meant to stay in one place, we would have roots rather than feet!”
My friend Damia recently went on a trip around the world. She started in Australia and went around China, Nepal, India, South Korea, Indonesia and few other countries.
She learned about people's struggles, experienced life with the locals and learned about their culture. Seeing her Facebook posts inspired me. I was pumped to do the same!
The only problem was that all I had was 100 bucks in my bank account and a Vive.
That’s why I decided to build an app which would let me travel in VR.
Presenting Travel VR, the best way to travel.
Bon voyage!
Gameplay
- Try moving your head around to highlight different countries.
- To spin the earth, hold down the trigger on your right hand and move it.

China
This app won't work in Mainland China. Sorry about that. This has something to do with the Great Firewall.
