The Google Expeditions app enables people to go on virtual tours of famous places around the world, using a smartphone in a virtual reality headset. However, Google just opened access to over a hundred augmented reality functions that were previously only reserved for students and teachers as part of the Google Expeditions AR Pioneer Program.

At Google I/O 2017, Google launched the AR Pioneer Program as a way for teachers to instruct students using AR. For example, a teacher could launch the AR program focused on the human skeleton and teach students about the human body in an interactive (and futuristic!) way.

Now, anyone can enjoy these AR programs through the Google Expeditions app, available on the Google Play Store.
