You can explore, capture and shares the AR experience all from your phone. The app is built on Google’s own ARCore platform and only works on a select group of 5G phones headlined by Google’s own Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5. Here is the list of supported phones for now. Google is promising support for additional 5G Android phones soon.
