The World Map in this world therefore isn’t a 2D street map like we have with Google Maps or Open Street Map, nor is it a 3D map with terrain and building volumes.

I am a bit sad no one gave an award to The Unity Cube , though… I would have loved to get a “Worst Application Award 2021” from Road To VR…. The result is that many big brands are canceling their presence at CES: Google, Intel, Microsoft, Meta, Lenovo, and many others, have decided not to go , and maybe provide their news virtually.
