Ten years ago, Google Earth was launched to empower people everywhere to discover the world around them. A decade later, we partnered with Google to take a giant leap forward for their latest, groundbreaking release. Google Earth VR lets you explore the entire planet from all new perspectives in a revolutionary, virtual reality environment.
We scored 24 minutes of original music, recorded instruments with a full-sphere, ambisonic microphone, and developed a custom, 3rd-order workflow for six curated tours to bring emotion and grandeur to the experience. To create the soundscapes, we recorded and crafted three-dimensional sound design for over 60 geographic locations. The result is a novel and immersive experience, and our efforts did not go unnoticed for we placed silver at the 2017 One Show Awards for Innovation in Audio.
