The Making of Google Earth VR | VR NOW Con & Awards 2017

Dominik Kaeser is an Engineering Lead at Google, where he runs the team behind Google Earth VR.
People at Google spent more than 10 years capturing every part of the world as part of the Google Earth project. The result is a rich 3D mesh that contains trillions of triangles and as such is predestined to be a good data source for VR content. Following early experiments, Google worked extensively to create a well-rounded product, Google Earth VR, which was eventually launched to the world in November 2016. Google Earth VR quickly became one of the most actively used VR applications in the market and has won several awards since. This talk discusses the journey of the Google Earth VR project from its early prototypes to its final launched stage.
