Inserting a character is as simple as tapping to enter AR mode in your camera app, selecting a sticker pack, and dragging and dropping into the scene. Once there, you can resize, rotate, and move them however you see fit. Characters inserted into the scene will stay where you placed them, even if you move the camera away, and will interact with other characters located in the same area. Once you’ve captured your scene, you can easily share the image or video with your friends on social media. Sticker packs currently include stylized characters from Strange things, Star Warsand various food-based emoticons and stickers.
The update will roll out as part of Android 8.1 Oreo on Pixel phones, and will roll out to all Pixel phones “in the coming days.”
This update is part of Google’s push to add more virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) content to Android. Google’s Daydream VR aims to bring virtual reality to more Android devices, and Pixel smartphone cameras have also been given more intelligence with the addition of Google Lens; a smart lens that can identify landmarks and provide history or save business card information.
