MICA microphone is required — you speak with Grandpa and he talks back.
SHHHeadphones or a quiet space are recommended for the best experience.

Where AR works
VR / MR headsets — Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2 or Pro (open this page in the Meta Quest Browser); also Pico 4 (Pico Browser).
Android phones — an ARCore-supported device with Google Play Services for AR installed, opened in Google Chrome.
iPhone / iPad — Safari does not support WebXR AR. You may try WebXR browsers such as Mozilla’s WebXR Viewer to view it, though that route is experimental and may be unmaintained.
No AR on your device? You can still explore every picture in 3D right here in the browser.
