Google on Thursday rolled out its Expeditions app with a new solo mode for all users.

For the past two years, the app was available only for teachers as a tool to extend learning inside the classroom, helping students to gain exposure to new career paths and learn about various social impact initiatives happening around the globe.

 

With the new update, users can either take these tours as an explorer or a guide.

As an 'Explorer', users can experience the tour on their own, where they can view more detailed information on various points of interest within the experience.

The 'Guide Mode' lets teachers preview a tour before embarking with their students on a virtual journey.

Expeditions also works on Daydream View VR headset-ready phones for more immersive and engaging experience.
