Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a review of Floom.
Have you ever wanted to know what was under your feet? Do you wonder what worlds lie beyond your backyard? Have you ever wanted to dig a hole to China but did not have an excavator? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this tool is for you.
Fun Fact: Contrary to popular belief, you can't dig a hole to China from the US.
Floom is an Android-only Google-made website that uses augmented reality, and location data to open portals into the ground. This tool is only supported in Chrome, but I tested the tool with my personal browser--Samsung Internet. It worked. Probably because the Browser is based on Chromium.

If the calibration is off, you click the compass icon to set North. If you do not know where North is, and have a Samsung phone with an edge panel (not an edge screen but a panel just search for edge) choose the compass and turn so you can see the needle point towards North. If you don't have a compass download a safe compass application from this list.
Most of the front yard is on top of the Indian Ocean and sometimes I can see places such as Australia and Indonesia. This software is very interesting and fun to use. It is free, but I wish you could access the satellite/aerial image from Google Maps. You can access Floom by visiting floom.withgoogle.com on an Android phone. I found this website from the Android intelligence newsletter. Thanks for reading and Tech Talk to You Later!!!
