Google Expeditions AR Tours Now Available To Public

https://ift.tt/2kB5jXh

Google announces the full release of Expeditions AR and new updates to it’s Just A Line app.

In a continued show of confidence that VR & AR technology will become influential tools in the classroom, Google has today made its limited Google Expeditions AR tours program available to the public free of charge. Previously only available to a lucky one million students over the course of the last school year during the Expeditions AR Pioneer program, the informative tool is now open to all via the Google Expeditions app on Android and iOS.

Since its initial launch just three years ago, the Google Expeditions program has used immersive technology to deliver over 800 VR tours to some of the most exotic and historic locations across the earth. Most recently, the company unveiled their Tour Creator, a web-based VR development tool that allows even those totally unfamiliar with VR development to build their own 360-degree tours using personal images or those provided by Google Street View.

Keeping in tune with their new label as Google AR & VR, the innovative tech giant has officially made its Expeditions AR tours program free to the public with 100 AR tours ready to explore right out of the gate.

Whereas Expeditions VR has been centered more around transporting users to distant locations, this AR counterpart focuses on delivering the art, animals and other culturally-significant objects you might find there.

“While we’ve seen first hand how powerful a tool VR is for going places, we think augmented reality (AR) is the best way to learn more about the things you find there,” Google states in a blog post. “Imagine walking around a life-sized African elephant in your classroom or putting a museum’s worth of ancient Greek statues on your table.”

“AR takes the abstract and makes it concrete to the students. We wouldn’t be able to see a heart right on the desk, what it looks like when beating, and the blood circulating.” spoke Darin Nakakihara, Irvine Unified School District.

Google has also made several changes to the Expeditions app to better help you find new tours to explore, keep track of your own, and start your own solo adventure. Know an educator who may think their classroom could benefit from the innovative program? Schools can now purchase the very first Expeditions AR/VR kits via Best Buy Education.

This isn’t the only bit of AR-related news from Google however. Along with these exciting announcements this morning the company revealed a new update to its experimental AR art app, Just A Line. Utilizing its recently-announced Cloud Anchor technology, Google has brought cross-platform cooperative play between iOS and Android “doodlers.” Simply launch the application and hold the two phones you wish to use next to each other, tap the “partner” icon, and boom! You’re creating shared works of augmented art in real-time!

Oculus launches Venues app with a robust lineup of summer events

https://ift.tt/2LLs5YT

Oculus wants VR to bring its users into magical worlds dreamed up by game developers, but the company also needs people to see the headset as a way to access the far corners of the real world alongside others.

The Oculus Venues app is launching today for the company’s standalone Go headset as well as the Gear VR. Venues marks a central hub for live events on the service, putting users in a shared social space to watch sporting events, concerts and shows. Facebook isn’t setting up cameras at these events, rather, they’re working with partners including NextVR, AEG, the MLB and Lionsgate to put on these events.

The app was announced earlier this month at Facebook’s F8 developer conference, but Venues wasn’t quite ready for primetime. Today, Oculus is sharing the first chunk of events all scheduled for the summer and it seems pretty robust.

Events include concerts with artists like Chromeo, movie screenings of films like Reservoir Dogs, MLB games and soccer matches as well as plenty of comedy shows. For the most part, events seem spaced out every couple days or so, but this is still a lot of VR content for headset owners coming from the service’s first few partners.

The first event is a Vance Joy concert tonight at 7:30 PST. Here’s a full list below, but it’s tiny so break out the spectacles.
