Inspiration

VR and open-world experiences, that's basically it! Both concepts show how much more technology can bring, and I’ve loved both since I was a kid. Now, having our entire world in high fidelity digital-form is one of the greatest things to happen to VR.

What it does

  • Offers the complete virtual travel experience. Using AI-upscaled Google Earth 3D maps to offer the best possible 3D world close-up quality, and Street View + Community Imagery with a rendering resolution of up to 2.0x, leveraging Meta's APIs to use the VR display's full capabilities.

How I built it

  • Years of weekly updates, striving to bring a dream come true. Thanks to our amazing VR community's support and feedback, WorldLens is now the most reputable, intuitive, seamless and capable in its category.

Challenges I ran into

  • Optimization is what made WL so magical, offering PCVR-like performance on standalone!

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  • Let's keep this open-ended, there's so much still to innovate!

What I've learned

  • Everything there was to learn basically, WL pushes so many boundaries and that forced me to learn how to redefine what's possible on standalone.

What's next for WorldLens VR

  • A world of possibilities, and a lifetime of frequent updates, to ensure the best possible travel experience in WL!
