Meet “The Mandalorian” in AR?

November 25, 2020 Off By Rowena Cletus

A long time ago, in a galaxy Far, Far away, the Mandalorian and the Child continue their journey, battling enemies and rallying allies during the tumultuous era after the collapse of the Galactic Empire. You can now access the world of STAR WARS with your smartphone.

The Play Store now has a really cool new feature called AR Experience that allows you to see iconic moments from The Mandalorian season one in a realistic setting, provided you have a 5G Pixel and have downloaded the Mandalorian AR Experience app.

Google has brought many things to life through augmented reality, including dinosaurs and astronauts. Users who use devices powered by Android 5G can interact with the characters in their own space. The “Mandalorian” AR experience drops you into the shoes of a bounty hunter on a mission to track down Mandalorian himself, DinDjarin and the child.

The Mandalorian World is an augmented reality experience featuring characters from “The Mandalorian,” providing an interactive way for you to capture your own images and share them with family and friends.

With the goal of creating this new experience, Google, Disney and Lucasfilm collaborated with 5G devices in mind. This collaboration produced highly detailed models and lifelike animations—all while featuring fun surprises throughout the scenes. We created scenes that respond to your environment and your surroundings using ARCore, Google’s platform for building augmented reality content.

You will be able to see additional effects as a result of your actions. In addition to what this new ARCore Depth API can do, it also has the ability to create greater occlusion, creating a more true-to-life experience.

They will add new content to the app each week on MandoMondays. Pixel owners will also receive exclusive content outside of the app.
