Google today released a collection of AR web apps to highlight what is possible with the current web technology. Read about the new AR web apps below.

■ Sodar (http://experiments.withgoogle.com/sodar) helps to visualize social distancing. By activating a personal augmented reality radar from your browser, you can see what six feet (or two meters) looks like in any environment.

■ With Measure Up (http://experiments.withgoogle.com/measureup), you can calculate the length, area and volume of the things around you without using a tape measure.

■ Floom (http://experiments.withgoogle.com/floom) is a fun new way to explore the planet, built with WebXR and Google Maps. Open your browser to tunnel through the earth and see what’s on the other side.

■ Picturescape turns your Google Photos library into an immersive gallery so you can explore your memories in augmented reality.

You can check out the new WebXR collection here (http://experiments.withgoogle.com/collection/webxr). Please note that you need a supported Android device (http://developers.google.com/ar/devices#google_play_devices) and the latest Chrome browser to try out these AR web apps.
