Zynga lets you show off your CSR 2 race cars with augmented reality

CSR Racing 2 has been popular as a mobile game because it offers car racing fans the fantasy of collecting and owning their own cars. And now game publisher Zynga is announcing an augmented reality feature that allows players to bring those cars to life in the real world.

Using Apple’s ARKit platform, Zynga’s developers created an AR mode where you can look at your mobile phone display and see your game car as it would look in the real world. You can even take a photo of you standing next to the car and share it with your friend (as shown in the picture above). It works on the iPhone and iPad versions of the game, using the iOS 11 operating system. CSR Racing 2 has been downloaded more than 50 million times and it has generated more than $100 million in revenue, according to measurement firm Sensor Tower.
