We tried out the new 3D AR Google Search and it is WILD!
Guess what? Google has just added 3D augmented reality (AR) animals to its search results!
If you have an ARCore or ARKit-ready iPhone and Android phone, you can try out the function and start turning your world into a jungle.
Here’s how you do it:
Step 1: Open Google Search and type in panda/lion/tiger/raccoon/bear
Step 2 : Click on “View in 3D”
Step 3: Tap on the “AR†button at the top of the screen
Step 4 : Go wild with your new friend!
Naturally, we had to give it a try and gave in to our animal instincts, played around with a panda, tiger, lion, horse, raccoon, bear and shark in the office.
Twitter users have also discovered penguins, alligators, dogs and more:
