Google Earth VR is the Most Mind Blowing Virtual Reality Experience I've Had To Date! #VR #HTCVive #VirtualReality


Introducing Google Earth VR, our next step to help the world see the world. With Earth VR, you can fly over a city, stand at the edge of a mountain, and even soar into space. Google Earth VR is available now on Steam for the HTC Vive. Learn more at g.co/earthvr



Wow!  This is cool.

For those of you who know me, you've heard me rave about my experiences with virtual reality since I bought an HTC Vive a few months ago.   I think it's the best experience on the market and it just keeps getting better and better.

Today was the best.  Google released an app for Google Earth VR and it is mind blowing.  Tonight, I was sitting in the middle of my living room but it felt like I was flying all over the world including Paris, New York City, San Francisco, and perhaps weirdest of all for me, directly in front of my childhood home. 

I floated all around Niagra Falls, the great pyramids in Egypt, and Devil's Tower in Wyoming.  It was very surreal and I stayed up an hour past my bed time enjoying it.  If you haven't experienced the HTC Vive yet, make arrangements to do so and check this out.  You will be amazed!

As seen on The herald sun, abc america

**Eagle was fine - she was massive, and used talon's to 'punch' the drone out of the sky. Hung around overhead so i got a really good look. Eagle's health was my main concern also**

This is the last thing a small bird sees when a Wedge-Tailed Eagle decides that you are dinner...

Do not fly drones near birds of prey, they clearly attack seeing you as a threat or the right sized dinner. This will cost you money and potentially harm to the bird. This one was fine.. the drone needed some attention before it could fly again.

If you see a bird of prey while flying. Land. I have added this to my operating procedure.

Farthest journey by hoverboard - Guinness World Records



Published on May 22, 2015
Watch Catalin Alexandru Duru become the first person ever to break the Guinness World Records Title for the Farthest journey by hoverboard

Subscribe for more: http://bit.ly/subscribetoGWR

The farthest flight by hoverboard is 275.9 m (905 ft 2 in) and was achieved by Alexandru Duru (Canada) at Lake Ouareau in Quebec, Canada on 25 August 2014.

Catalin said:

The first real-life hoverboard. The machine was built and designed by me, Catalin Alexandru Duru. I am the first man to create and fly a working prototype.

I will showcase that stable flight can be achieved with a machine one can stand on and control with their feet, just like in the movie "Back to the Future Part II". In our case, the machine is propeller-based.

The prototype can be used anywhere, but is usually tested over water because of how dangerously high it can fly (which is ironic considering that the movie joked that it can't).

My dad, a mycologist, found an GoPro camera in Gringelstad outside Kristianstad. He found it on the ground in a forest. The memory card was intact - and this is the last film. Are you the right skydiver? Please let me know so we can send you the camera and the memory card.

Update April 4: Camera owner is found. A parachutist in Everöd in Skåne.

The owner of the film is parachutist Tobias Persson. For licensing / permission to use: Contact - licensing(at)jukinmedia(dot)com
