Celebrate Diwali @ Home with Augmented Reality!
Collection:
Every autumn, millions of people around the world come together for firework displays, feasts, prayer, and festivities in celebration of Diwali - the festival of lights.
To recreate some festival fervour, artists in residence at Google Arts & Culture Lab experimented with WebXR for you to play with Diwali lights in Augmented Reality. Using the Google Arts & Culture app on Android, decorate your space virtually with diyas (lamps), light a virtual anar (firecracker), for some explosive fun, and to learn more about these important cultural traditions.
Celebrate Diwali by bringing virtual light into your home!
