Google is bringing AR to the masses with the public release of ARCore, it’s augmented reality code that’s been in beta for a while now. The search and tech giant is also making their “Lens” visual search tool part of the Google Photos app on smartphones as well. Both features should update and activate today without Android users having to do much of anything, but you’ll need to make sure Android Oreo is fully up to date, and it will only work on certain phones for now. Those handsets include all Google Pixel phones, top-level Samsung phones, LG’s V30 models, the Asus Zenfone AR and the OnePlus 5. As you can imagine, the update will be rolling out to many more phones in the near future. AR Core is similar to Apple AR Kit, and with a public release, developers should start churning out fun VR apps and such shortly.
