Does Google Earth on SteamVR work with Oculus Quest 2?
Google Earth on Steam. VR works great on my Oculus Quest 2, connected wirelessly via the Virtual Desktop / Sidequest solution. No link cable is needed. As with games like Half Life: Alyx, wireless now seems to perform better than using a link cable (assuming you PC has the power, and you have 5Ghz Wi. Fi).
There are some alternatives such a Wander that is similar to Google Earth and but with the added benefit of it actually being multiplayer. Hoppin’ is another one that is available on the Oculus Go and they are currently looking for funding for a Quest port.

Do you use VR properly when playing Quest 2?
Waiting on Quest 2 to arrive. Never really used VR properly. Sounds like a silly question but does it feel like you’re on the Earth, like google street view might or is it more like you’re holding a small globe and rotating it in front of you?
