In the Northern Hemisphere summer is here, and with the new AR mode really exciting the AR community, we had to do a summer theme and see what creativity the AR community could come up with!
Information for the next theme is at the bottom of the article!
Unedited Images
The below AR images have not been edited in any way.
‘playing in water 水遊び’ by Limu りむ , my house.
‘Fun anywhere with water.’
‘Summery colors!’ by nana15AR, Hiroshima City, Japan.

‘Tag’ by Walker, Tokyo, Japan.

‘Primarina’s Daily Life’ by pokemoninlife, Lanyu, Taitung, Taiwan.
‘Lanyu is a beautiful small island near Taiwan. This place provides lots of endemic species. That day, while I went to the beach, I met Primarina coming to the beach. And it showed me its charming figure and elegant moves.’
‘Morning Glory’ by Indiana, Ohio, United States.
‘Virizion has always been one of my favorite Pokemon, but I’ve always found it notoriously difficult to photograph. It’s such a graceful creature, but I feel like its 3D model robs it of a lot of that grace seen more often in the anime or its Black and White sprites. When I finally completed my mission of getting a photo that accurately pictured who Virizion really is, I was thrilled. It took me over 100 shots, but I finally captured a perfect moment of Glory racing across the plains like you would find her in the wild.’
‘Family picnic’ by Owleyes3, Kimball, Michigan.
‘Schools out! Time for some family summer fun!’

‘Training Montage’ by Indiana, Ohio, United States.
‘In fighting movies like The Karate Kid, there are always montages where the main character suddenly increases his skills and becomes a good fighter, and they always end with a perfect move silhouetted by the sunset. Charcadet is known to train hard, so I thought it fit well in this role. Here, Blues has just perfected his backflip!’
‘Morning Exercise’ by Vgfeather, Spata-Lootsa, Greece.

‘Unbothered’ by phrixu, Kent, UK.
‘Summer for me is spending evenings outdoors in the garden, often with my cat constantly by my side. She loves chasing me around and playing with apples that have fallen from trees, but always remains completely unbothered by the birds and wildlife around!’
‘Let’s play in the pool!’ by Limu りむ , Hotels in tourist destinations.
