Google launches new AR tool to visualise social distancing rules

We're all adjusting to a new, socially distant way of life.

Here to help with that is a new tool from Google that uses augmented reality (AR) to help you visualise social distancing restrictions.

Sodar is the name of this new experimental tool, brought to use by Experiments with Google. The tool uses WebXR to create a six-foot or two-metre radius ring around you using your phone screen.
