Google is starting AR tours in museums

In one of the first real world uses of augmented reality, Google's platform Tango will be partnering with museums around the world.

The Detroit Institute of Arts will be the first museum to partner with Google. They are offering visitors Tango-enabled devices that can be used to explore exhibits in augmented reality.

Visitors to the DIA will be able to request a Lenovo Phab 2 Pro, which is a Tango-enabled smartphone, from the front desk and use it to explore the museum and various artifacts.
