Augmented Reality (AR) can be fun technology to play with. The basic premise of AR is to overlay digital content on top of real things using something like a map, a camera, or sometimes the sky. Aside from being awesome, AR is also one of the more polarizing categories of apps and games in Google Play. It seems like an app is either really good or really terrible. In this list, we’ll take a look at the best AR apps and games for Android. and right now there are some android app with augmented reality feature.
BARCODE SCANNER
First up is the venerable Barcode Scanner. It has over 100 million downloads in the Google Play Store and is one of those very basic tools that most people should have. It allows phone and tablet cameras to read QR codes, barcodes, and similar content so that it can be opened on your device. It’s a simple app that works well and it’s even been pre-installed on devices in the past. Even if you don’t use it every day, keep it in mind in case you ever do.
CAMGUN
CamGun is a fun little camera app that lets you superimpose various weapons on your camera and gun down your friends. It likens itself to call of duty but the graphics are more like something you’d see in an old Duke Nukem or Doom game. It’s a fun app that lets you goof around and uses some AR tech in the process. You can try it out for free but the full version costs $1.39.
Google Goggles was among the first efforts by any developers to actually make use of AR tech on Android. You can use it to “scan” various objects and Google Search will try to identify what it is for you. This works for things like landmarks and artwork along with things like consumer products and other media. You can also use it as a barcode/QR code scanner if you want. Perhaps its most useful feature is the ability to translate foreign text which was later added directly into Google Translate.
IKEA Catalog
You’re about as shocked as I was when I saw that this was actually an AR app. For the most part it is the IKEA catalog so you can go searching and sifting through various items they have on sale. However, one feature in this app is the ability to superimpose the various furniture you want into a living room setting to see how it would look. You can also scan physical copies of the IKEA catalog to search for it in the app. We wish more large stores did stuff like that.
LIFE IS CRIME
Life is Crime is another GPS-location based game but unlike Ingress, this one is a tad more risque. Life is Crime features gangs that you can join, a live chat so you can talk with fellow players, and you use these things to fight with other gangs for actual territory and complete missions. It’s a fairly entertaining game with a decent sized player base. Folks from smaller towns may have some issues finding people to play with but otherwise, it’s a good way to live a life of crime without being thrown in prison.
Yeah maybe you know about app with AR technology, but only this can i show to you right now.
