Description: Visit New York in virtual reality mode and dive into the heart of its most iconic places at 360 ° with Google your Carboard. Immerse – to the Ground Zero Memorial, in Times Square, on Brooklyn Bridge. Admire the view from the 230 Fifth rooftop, the Dumbo bridge, Empire Fulton Ferry.

Review: Much like the Tokyo VR for Cardboard app that has gone before it, this is once again a 360 photo tour, only this time of iconic places within New York! You get to choose from a number of beautiful locations like Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge and you can even admire the view from the 230 Fifth rooftop! Within each location, there are lots to see and gain ideas from to plot your own real life visit.

These virtual holiday guides are only going to become more and more mainstream to the point when every location has them. The only way this app would have been better was if you could have added your own photos. But for now, it’s a pretty good guide to New York.
