3 of the Best Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality apps on Android

A few days ago we highlighted three interesting AR apps for iOS, and today we’re offering up the best on the Android Market.

Augmented reality is simply ‘a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world, thus providing a composite view;’ basically Pokemon hiding in the bushes as you travel to your local supermarket.

Here’s our top 3 Android offerings:

1. Google Translate

Perfect for keen travellers, Google Translate lets you translate text in several languages by simply opening the app, clicking the camera and pointing the required text to translate. The app has recently expanded to include a total of 27 languages, as well as a smooth and fast voice translation.

2. Titans of Space

Explore the sky with Titans of Space‘s short guided tour of our planets and a few stars in virtual reality. An informative Narration add-on is now available to provide even more information about the stars, making it a perfect choice for teachers and students alike. (N.B This app Works with Google Cardboard VR Kit.)

3. Insidious VR

This one isn’t for the faint hearted. Confronting the terror of Insidious, Elise Rainier (actress Lin Shaye) acts as your guide to the horrors of the afterlife. Navigate your way through the Further’s darkest reaches and see if you have the nerve for this chilling Virtual Reality experience.
