ARTags is an for Android that lets users create drawings. It’s similar to many drawing apps, with different brush colors and sizes. When you’re done with your drawing, you can upload it to a server. When you upload it, you also send your location. When you upload your photo, it makes a unique experience for those viewing.

Using an AR viewer, many users can look at the world around them, and they will be able to see user drawings superimposed in the world.

Now there is an of the app designed for Android TV, using the Leanback library.

How well does an AR app work on Android TV? Well, as far as augmented reality goes, not too well. A lack of camera, GPS, and mobility don’t make it a good AR app. However, the app does display a variety of drawings and it works as a simple art gallery.

There are a bunch of high quality images shown in the first row. By clicking on each one, you can learn more information about it and then see the drawing in fullscreen. Alternatively, you can browse a number of the newest drawings. These can be hit or miss in terms of quality, but it does allow for hidden gems to shine.

Ultimately, the developers did a fine job of porting the app in a way that makes sense for TV. They took advantage of the leanback experience to develop something that makes sense for the living room instead of simply re-purposing a mobile app on a bigger screen.
