WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT E2V1?
E2V1 is technology that many critics claimed was not possible from such a small team, in such a short amount of time - but this footage proves them wrong.  

The biggest unique selling point of E2V1 is that it renders the entire planet Earth in digital format, performantly with nice graphics.  You can zoom from New York to London in the blink of an eye and E2V1 will stream it for you almost instantly. 

The closest similar product in terms of actual world scale that is currently released is none other than the mammoth game title Microsoft Simulator 2020.   MSFS2020 is a game that was developed with hundreds of developers over 40 years by one of the biggest companies in the world.

The difference with Earth 2 Version One is that it not only functions loading the distant terrain view, but also loads the up-close terrain view covering every square inch of the planet, down to pebbles and blades of grass, with centimeter-accurate terrain collisions spanning the entire Earth’s surface.

Granted that MSFS2020 and E2V1 have different objectives, however, the fact that such a small team has pulled off the progress that will be displayed during the footage is no small feat.  Not only is all of the above true about E2V1, but Players will also be able to build cities, explore, interact and more.

As the name suggests, E2V1 is only the very first 3D version of Earth 2 and we plan to refine and improve our flagship product over time with further releases such as E2V2 and E2V3.

ABOUT EARTH 2 
Earth 2 is the Geolocational Metaverse meaning that any place you stand in the real world is digitally represented inside of Earth 2.  We are building a 1:1 scale digital replication of the Earth in a pristine state with the removal of man made artifacts. We are one of the most successful startups in history and have grown into the biggest Virtual Land Registry in the world with over 100 million 19x19m tiles sold.

At Earth 2, we think of the Metaverse as a Massive-Open-Seamless-World that people can instinctively relate to through their perception of what exists and what is real around them.  Something that can, under the right circumstances, evolve into a new of metaphysical existence and cement its place in the history of the internet’s technical evolution.
