The real world is your feed. Poke turns places into a social feed. Record a short video of yourself, let AI remove the background, and drop yourself as a flat hologram on a beach, a café or a street corner. People nearby find you through their camera. RECORD IN 10 SECONDS Hold to record with the back camera, or use the front camera with a 3-2-1 countdown. Add a sound, or post a clip from your camera roll. The background is removed for you after you post. SEE WHO'S BEEN HERE Open the XR Feed to see holograms of real people standing in the world around you. Swipe through who's nearby and leave your own wherever you go. ONE POKE, TWO SIGNALS Poking a hologram likes it and sends a friend request at the same time. Tap Accept to connect, and keep up with pokes and friends in the Poke Center. TALK IT OUT Message friends, share holograms in chat, and leave comments on the holograms you find. CLAIM YOUR BLOCK The map is split into real-world blocks. The most active creators take control of territory in their area. POKE POINTS See your points balance in the XR Feed and send points to friends. BUILT FOR 13+ Poke is for ages 13 and up. You choose where your holograms go, and XR Feed filters let you show friends only, or filter by gender and age. On your phone today, built for the XR glasses of tomorrow. Drop your first hologram.
