Facebook launches AR games for Messenger group video chat

Facebook today announced the introduction of augmented reality games in group video chat with up to six people at once. AR games are available today and begin with two games: Don’t Smile, a competition to see who can keep a serious look on their face for the longest, and Asteroids Attack, a game where you pilot a spaceship with your facial movement.

Additional games will be introduced in the coming weeks and months, a company spokesperson told VentureBeat, including Beach Bump, a game for bouncing a beach ball between call participants, and Kitten Kraze, a matching game.
