Apple's Vision Pro is set to revolutionize the virtual reality (VR) and spatial computing domain with the introduction of Google Earth, Spatial Earth app, and major applications like Half-Life: Alyx, described as 'INSANE' on its platform. Google Earth, now available on Apple's new spatial computing platform, Vision Pro, offers users an immersive 3D experience of the globe, previously accessible on PC VR and Quest. The experience is praised for its ability to provide a god-like perspective of familiar places in immersive 3D. Additionally, the Vision Pro will support SteamVR through an app, enhancing its gaming capabilities, evidenced by the excitement surrounding the availability of Half-Life: Alyx and the use of hand tracking via ALVR, now downloadable for free on the Apple AppStore through Testflight. In a strategic move to boost its market appeal, especially in China, Apple has secured a partnership with Tencent, persuading the Chinese social-media giant to bring its critical apps to the Vision Pro. This development is part of Apple's broader strategy to penetrate the Chinese market, as confirmed by Tim Cook to CCTV finance at the Beijing-backed forum CDF, with the state media outlet posting the announcement on Weibo. Cook also mentioned that the Vision Pro would be sold in mainland China this year and that Apple would continue to increase its R&D investment in the country.

Google Earth in VR is so underrated. It's a fascinating experience. One of my all time favourite apps in VR. It's especially cool to visit places you know intimately but see them from a god like perspective in immersive 3D. So cool that it runs on Apple Vision Pro now too. Can't… https://t.co/IfEvDBKMBH
