- Floom is one of the most creative ones. The application is based on WebXR and Google Maps. When the user opens the application and points it at the ground.
- The application will automatically display the corresponding scenery at the other end of the earth under the user’s feet, just like opening a hole.
- Measure Up is a measurement tool that users can use to measure the length, area, volume, etc. of objects.
- Sodar is an application developed in response to the current epidemic. It can display the range of two meters around the user in order to maintain a distance from other people.
