Blueplanet VR Explore is a virtual travel app from the studio Blueplanet VR. It first released on PC VR headsets and came to Meta Quest on 20 May 2021, where it costs $24.99. Its locations are built with photogrammetry, a technique that creates 3D models by stitching together thousands of real world photographs, which gives a strong sense of standing in a real place.
The app includes more than 40 natural and cultural heritage locations around the world, such as Borobudur Temple in Indonesia and Bears Ears National Monument in the south western United States. You can move around freely within each environment, view some from a virtual hang gliding experience, and bring up information about your surroundings. A later version folded earlier expansion packs into the base app. On Meta Quest it is rated 3.4 from 147 reviews, a Mixed score, and it is rated for everyone.
