Hi Folks, 

I came across this video, here the guy is showing off Google Earth VR using the Oculus Touch. He is using something called FakeVive ... 

I myself cant wait to have a go ...

Google should really release this for the OH, no excuse

Even with FakeVive this is extremely awkward to navigate with the keyboard.  The app is VERY nicely done, but without Touch/Motion controllers pretty much pointless/useless.,IMO.


Ah a Glass half empty kinda guy? 🙂

Like I said I cant wait to try it with my touch when it arrives.

Google should really hook up with a flight sim company. officially, not one of the tweaks.  Would be awesome.
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

Seems you also need SteamVR for it to run

Really awesome! I'm sure Google will release this officially for Touch once it's out.

Doing a 'superman' looks so much fun! 


I agree, though I saw a vid the other day that may be more superman like. In a game I've never heard of, "richies plank experience vr". I am secretly hoping a big name company will soon release some (spiderman/ironman/superman/batman/any old superhero) polished and full of depth game similar to these. All I have to say is (hopefully) there's no way a Superman VR can be as shitty as Superman 64.

So now that Touch is out (and is AMAZING) has anyone seen when this gets official Touch support?

Fakevive is just a DLL file you put in the google earth folder

Not in the near future I would guess, I'll just keep on using the DLL file It seems to work ok for me
