Tech giant Google launches ‘Immersive Stream for XR’ tool for Cloud users

Google on Friday launched its new ‘Immersive Stream for XR’ service for all Google Cloud customers, with which users will not need any powerful hardware or a special application to be immersed in a 3D or augmented reality (AR) world.

Users can click a link or scan a QR code to immediately be transported to extended reality (XR), the tech giant said in a blogpost.

“Immersive Stream for XR is being used to power the ‘immersive view’ feature in Google Maps, while automotive and retail brands are enhancing at-home shopping experiences for consumers, from virtually configuring a new vehicle to visualizing new appliances in the home.”
