The Virtual Travel App That Actually Feels Like Being There

A virtual travel app lets you visit real places through a VR headset. The best ones use filmed, stereoscopic video, so the destination has true depth and scale rather than looking like a photo wrapped around you. You stand on the ridgeline, hear the water, and look wherever you like.

Real footage, shot on location with a stereoscopic cinema camera. Water moves, light changes, sound surrounds you. This is the closest thing to standing there, which is why Apple's editors described Explore POV as "the closest thing to teleportation." The trade-off: you experience the filmmaker's vantage points rather than roaming anywhere.

Still panoramas you can look around. Quick to make and widely available, but flat: no depth, no motion, no life in the scene. Fine for checking out a hotel, less so for feeling a place.

3D-scanned recreations you can walk through at your own pace. Genuinely impressive for exploring landmarks freely. The trade-off is that scans feel like beautiful, frozen museum models rather than living places.

Planet-wide coverage built on mapping imagery. Unbeatable breadth: you can drop into almost any street on Earth. Fidelity is the compromise, with flat imagery and stitching artifacts.

We film every experience ourselves, on location, in resolutions up to 16K, and master it as stereoscopic VR180. The library currently holds 188 experiences across 22 countries, from Fiordland to the Philippines, and grows regularly. Browse it by theme in our collections, by place in destinations, or see what's new.

Watch natively on Apple Vision Pro, or in the browser on Meta Quest, Pico, and Samsung Galaxy XR. Browser viewing needs no install: see how browser viewing works.

Explore POV works on a laptop or phone as a look-around window: you drag or tilt to explore the scene. A headset is where the depth and sense of presence really arrive, and we support Apple Vision Pro natively plus Meta Quest, Pico, and Samsung Galaxy XR in the browser.

Subscriptions are $9.99 a month, $24.99 for 3 months, or $44.99 for 6 months (about $7.50 a month). Watch the trailer first, then create an account or subscribe to unlock the library.
