Play around with an Apple II computer in AR with this intriguing new app for the upcoming show.
Next Friday, Apple TV Plus original For All Mankind returns for season 2 on the streaming service, and ahead of that, Apple has released a new AR app for iOS devices that tells a story set in the show’s universe. For All Mankind: Time Capsule lets you rummage through a box of keepsakes that belong to a new young character in the show, Danny Stevens (played by Casey W Johnson), who’s just experienced a break-up. The objects in the box collectively tell a story that explores the lives of other characters in the show, with appearances from multiple actors in the series. Time Capsule even features in-universe newscasts filmed specifically for the app. What it amounts to looks like a first-person story game, one that might remind you of something like Gone Home or Firewatch. You examine objects and have shards of story delivered to you by AR props and in-app media. The app can be downloaded in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand now, with other territories getting it later this month – and iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPad Pro users even get to enjoy two exclusive scenes of the story that use the LiDAR scanner to project images on to a wall.
