If you're a Fast & Furious fan, you already know who Justin Lin is, but if you aren't one, then you should know that he directed the last four movies in the series.

Well, it looks like Google was anxious to collaborate with the famous director and the result is a short that's now available for download in Google Play Store.

The search giant has recently launched an application called Google Spotlight Stories, which includes stories from famous engineers and filmmakers.

These short stories are especially made to be watched on smartphones. The stories are brought to life using some of the latest mobile technology, including 3D and 2D animation, 360° spherical video of the highest quality, and full-sphere surround sound.

According to Google, those who publish their stories in Play store through its Spotlight Stories application will also make use of sensor fusion techniques in order to turn the smartphone's display into a story that unfolds around you.

The application is developed by Google's ATAP lab where these 360° interactive shorts are captured. At launch, Google Spotlight Stories has four shorts available to watch, all available for free.

Justin Lin's short is called HELP and is free as well, but only for a limited time. Here are more details on the short starring Sung Kang:

“HELP drops watchers into the middle of downtown Los Angeles where an unexpected meteor shower has left a deep scar on the streets of Chinatown. What happens next creates panic and sends a young woman scrambling to escape.”

More details on the newly launched project will be unveiled during Google I/O conference, which is set to kick off on May 28.

You can now download Google Spotlight Stories for Android for free via Google Play Store. The application should be fully compatible with all devices powered by Android 4.2 and up.
