It was only last summer that Google had launched Motion Stills on Android, to better video capture & view on a wide range of Android phones.
Now, Google has announced the new Augmented Reality (AR) mode in Motion Stills for Android. With the new AR mode, a user simply touches the viewfinder to place fun, virtual 3D objects on static or moving horizontal surfaces (e.g. tables, floors, or hands), allowing them to seamlessly interact with a dynamic real world environment. You can also record & share the clips as GIFs & videos.
AR mode is powered by instant motion tracking, a six degree of freedom tracking system built upon the technology that powers Motion Text in Motion Stills iOS & the privacy blur on YouTube to accurately track static & moving objects. Google said it had refined & enhanced this technology to enable fun AR experiences that can run on any Android device with a gyroscope.
