– Experiments with Google (@ExpWithGoogle) May 28, 2020

This Google experiment is called SODAR, which uses AR technology to visualize the minimum social distancing distance from the user’s cellphone. So that users can measure the ideal space for movement when doing social restrictions.

This SODAR feature is a collaboration between the Chrome browser and a technology called WebXR that Google has pinned on Android phones since 2019. How to use this feature is also fairly easy, users can access the SODAR page via browser Chrome on the goo.gle/sodar page.

By pressing a button launch, SODAR will request user access to activate the camera. After that the user will be asked to calibrate the location point prioritizing a flat surface, so that Google can display the calculation of the ideal distance from social distancing.

Unfortunately this SODAR feature only works for Android devices with browser Google Chrome. So iOS users who access Google’s pages cannot use this feature.
