Geospatial AR experiences could be coming to Maps on Android

Pretend you're there with AR tools that breathe immersion.

Google Maps is picking up an "AR experience" button for Street View and more, giving users a chance to "simulate" an adventure through a city. There will be an option to share your AR experience with others in Maps by copying a deep link URL or quickly sending a QR code. By taking a step back through time in Paris, Google states users can experience the Pavilions of the 1900 Universal Exhibition and visit locations like the Eiffel Tower on their phones.
