I’ve never really bothered with AR before but I saw an interesting article, it said I would need to use it on my phone for best effect, so I duly typed up the address on my Sony Xperia X2 running latest updated Android version 9.

On Chrome it asks me if I want to grant access, then when I tap „show in my space“ a little box pops up at the bottom of the screen with an i in a circle and a close x – tapping the i does nothing and the cross just gets rid – I don’t get any augmented reality of any kind, just nothing.

I tried downloading dolphin, granted access to camera etc. When I tap „show in my space“ all I get is a page saying „No results found for „pname:cpm.google.ar.core“ it appears to have taken me to the Play Store…

Is there something simple or a phone setting I am missing? I would have hoped this would have worked without having to be a developer (which is what a quick Google search seemed to lead to, a load of techo babble that is totally beyond me!). Would have thought Google’s tech in Google’s operating system in Google’s browser would kind of work without fuss.

How do I just get this to work? The resource is at:

I have a small business I’ve been running for about 8 years and currently I’m thinking about hiring someone to take over my responsibilities. Since the job requires a lot of experience-related knowledge it is hard to explain everything during training sessions and I started to consider buying a pair of smart glasses that my worker could bring with him, stream some footage to me in which I would be able to draw something (in real time) that he would be able to apply in the place of work. I am a complete newbie in the matter of augmented reality and its hardware and it is hard to find any information if a specific piece of hardware supports such application although this application seems to be basic to me. I would be glad if someone could give me the best hardware and software set for such purpose – maybe single glasses, maybe two sets of glasses (one for me and one for a worker) so that the experience would be more immersive to me , or maybe there is also another solution for the problem that I didn’t even think about. This would probably be the only application for the glasses so I don’t need a high-end expensive piece of hardware – I just want it to be easy to use and price-worthy.

Thanks in advance
