Augmented reality allows us to use our mobile camera to place virtual objects in the real world. One of the best uses of augmented reality these days is to use our mobile camera to record videos with 3D animals in our room, but this technology has many more applications. Today we show you how to turn your living room or room into a virtual museum.
One of the most potent applications is Google Arts & Culture, a Google application focused on art and culture, a form where you can learn a lot, and using augmented reality, you can turn your house into a museum. We explain what the application is about.
Google Arts & Culture: a virtual museum in your living room
Google Arts & Culture is not a new application, but it does have an augmented reality feature that is very useful these days when we are at home. This function is found directly as soon as we open the application and is a way to turn our house into a museum.
The first of the functions is called Art Projector: Using Google's augmented reality technology, and with enough lighting, Google Arts & Culture will detect flat platforms as the ground where works of art can be placed. Then we will only have to drag from the screen of our mobile and drop it.
Once done, the work of art will remain magically anchored to the position that we have marked it. We can zoom in, zoom out, or move around the box that will follow where we left it. And even take a picture with the painting in our own house.
Beyond pictures, we can also explore some crucial galleries of human history in Pocket Gallery, from the Chauvet Cave to more contemporary museums. And as with the paintings, we can move freely and at any angle.
Required Google Play Services for augmented reality: how to install it Like the application of animals in 3D, Google Arts & Culture requires that we have ARCore. This service has recently been known as Google Play Services for augmented reality.
Usually, Google has a list of certified devices for its augmented reality. If your device is on the list (link here), the application will surely work without having to do anything (or by installing the service from the Google Play Store).
If our mobile is not compatible, they will appear in grey; it means that our mobile is not compatible with Google's augmented reality. Does this mean that we will not be able to enjoy the application? Well, it may be an indication, but we still have hope to make it work.
If we install the APK file of Google Play Services for AR from sites like APKMirror, we can prepare our mobile. Being a non-certified device, it may be the case that even if we install the application, our mobile phone does not manage to use augmented reality, but by trying it, we lose nothing.
Google Arts & Culture is nothing new, but it's a proven feature that's very helpful later when we're home. This work is out there right as soon as we open the app and maybe thanks to turning our house into a museum.
Augmented reality allows us to use our portable camera to place real objects within the world. One of the most straightforward and most undesirable real-time applications lately is to use our mobile camera to record videos and 3D animals in our room, but this technology has many uses. Today we show you ways to show your front room or room into a virtual museum.
One of the foremost powerful applications, Arts and Culture, on Google, the Google app focuses on art and culture, an app where you'll learn more, and use the dislikes to show your house into a museum. We explain what the app is about.
