Ever been curious what your laptop really thinks about your browsing history? “Animate Objects” is an augmented-reality feature that allows you to discover the secret thoughts of everyday items, as drawn by the New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck. While this is not The New Yorker’s first foray into A.R., it is the first time we are using A.R. to present our cartoons. Finck’s signature style and inimitable wit are embedded throughout the experience—from the handwritten interface to the imagined personalities of the objects around you. Download the latest version of the New Yorker Today app to access the feature now.

Go to the “Cartoons” tab and tap “Play” to enter the A.R. experience.

Turn up the volume on your device. (All objects are accompanied by sound, many voiced by a roster of comedians, including Erik Bergstrom, Karen Chee, Ziwe Fumudoh, Rachel Pegram, Gary Richardson, Blythe Roberson, Colin Stokes, and Zach Zimmerman.) Tap on the menu to see which sentient objects the app can recognize.
