Questions.

Does AR work on Android XR?

Yes. Chrome on Android XR supports WebXR’s AR module, so Start AR appears and the solar system shares the room with you.

Do I need controllers?

Not to get around. With hands, pinch a world to go to it and pinch and hold to open the menu. Grabbing the solar system in Hold and flying use controllers.

I bought it on my laptop. How do I get it on the headset?

Open the viewer in the headset browser and sign in with the email you paid with. The unlock belongs to that email, so it works in every browser you sign in to.
