Huawei wants P40 users to navigate museums in AR
Huawei’s AR Map app is available worldwide, but it only works at a few sites in China
For now, the feature is pretty limited. Huawei told us the app is available to download worldwide, but it currently only supports a few locations in China.
Users can also see virtual Buddhist characters displayed in their surroundings, like a Buddhist Pokémon Go. The app can be used to navigate at the site, too, with virtual flower petals laying out a path for people to follow.
The Huawei AR Map app is exclusively available on P40 series phones. But since it only covers places in China right now, it wasn’t introduced during the P40’s global unveiling. Huawei didn’t answer questions about how many locations are currently covered.
