Baby Yoda and Mando fans rejoice! Google has teamed up with Disney and Lucasfilm to create an AR experience to allow fans of hit streaming series, The Mandalorian, to enjoy snippets of the series on their smartphones. The Mandalorian AR Experience will bring some of the iconic scenes of Mando and The Child’s (Baby Yoda) adventures from the first season to whatever space its users want it to be; whether it be the living room, the outdoors or any other space.

To experience the virtual Mandalorian content, users will be required to download The Mandalorian AR Experience app on the Google Play Store using a supported 5G Android device. According to Google, this app will allow users to recreate some of the epic scenes from its critically acclaimed first season. For example, scenes like finding the Child, harnessing the Force and many other scenes are made available on the AR experience.

Players will be able to see life-sized versions of their favourite characters as they follow the trail of Mando, Din Djarin and the Child. Players can now interact with the characters in AR while capturing the scenes for sharing. Besides that, players will also be able to unlock additional effects based on the actions they perform within the app as the scenes interact and respond to the surrounding by using Google’s ARCore platform.

New episodes of the experience will be released on ‘Mando Mondays’ – a moniker given by Disney. Besides having weekly episodes updates, users that own a Pixel device will also be able to get additional exclusive content aside from the app itself.

The Mandalorian AR experience does not require a 5G connection to use the app. However, users will need a compatible 5G device. The app is free of charge and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. Do check out the list of devices that is compatible for The Mandalorian AR experience on the official website.
