Back in February, Google launched ARCore 1.0, a platform for
building augmented reality apps on Android. To use the AR functionality, you'll
need one of these phones, the Pixel lines of devices, Asus Zenfone AR,
OnePlus's Oneplus 5, Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, Note 8, S7 and S7 Edge, and LG
V30. Hopefully, Google will make ARCore available to more devices. Now that
ARCore is in the wild, we need apps to take advantage of it and, today, Amazon
has published an update that adds support for AR to Amazon Shopping for
Android.
After installing the update, users of Amazon Shopping will
be able to use the in-app camera "to visualize the products" in their
living space before adding the product to their shopping cart. All they have to
do is to tap the camera icon and select AR view. This feature brings a new
shopping experience to Amazon shoppers. See the video below to see how AR View
works in Amazon Shopping.
If you own one of the devices listed above, download the
update in the Play Store. Now if like me, your phone is not supported, the
update will still show up on your device. But again, hopefully, we won't have
to wait too long to take enjoy AR capability on our beloved devices.
