Google launches new Cloud tool to help make mixed reality experiences

American tech giant Google wants to make it easier for others to make powerful mixed reality experiences with the official release of a new Google Cloud tool, Immersive Stream for XR.

The Verge, an American technology news website, has reported that according to a blog post the tool lets users scan a QR code or click a link to access a mixed reality experience, and behind the scenes, Google Cloud GPUs will host, render, and stream those experiences to the device.

Google says it is already utilizing the technology in its new immersive view in Google Maps, which allows users to examine a 3D depiction of certain towns overlaid with features like traffic and neighbouring restaurants.
