Doesn’t work
Hurts your eyes if you watch it on your phone, the other VR way doesn’t work either. Blurry!!
Doesn’t work
Although the stream capabilities work, the camera does not, even on an iPhone XR
Not good on iPhone 7
It keeps cutting out and did little to experience Mt Everest
Cool AR
Super nice AR stuff to check out
Horrid.
Doesn’t work. No matter what we only got audio on iPhone 8plus. Deleting.
Not great on iPhone 6S
Tried this with the Entertainment Weekly self esteem cover, but could not watch the video because it kept cutting out unless it was aimed PERFECTLY at the cover. Perhaps AR it's not the best way to present a video? I lack the surgeon-steady hands required for this to work properly, so I did not get to watch the Steven Universe self esteem video; which did little to improve my self esteem.
All that bother to watch a bad cartoon commercial?
Blah. This shall go the way of QR codes very soon.
