Google has released Google Earth VR, a VR application where you're given a jetpack and the whole world to explore. In other words, it's basically Google Earth + VR + jetpack = awesome. Google's site has a pretty impressive trailer, and you can get it for free on Steam right now. People seem to be really liking it on Steam (for now at least), and this is the first VR app that's actually got me interested.
Funnily enough, on a course I'm currently on, I'm supposed to create a VR application, and one idea I had for it was a jetpack. I didn't go anywhere with it because I thought it'd be too much work for a single person (and I still think so), but I thought the idea had pretty good potential. Turns out Google thinks so though, and apparently thought so long before be.
Anyway, I posted this under PC discussion because for now, this is just a PC thing. But obviously this could be big for VR as a whole, and not just VR gaming (this isn't a game, after all).
