At its I/O conference in 2019, Google announced that it might be adding augmented reality objects to look . Over the year since, Google features a bunch of 3D animals you’ll view in Google Search using AR — here’s the complete list that we’re constantly updating.
Google’s AR objects in search are incredibly easy to access. The objects are added to look within the belief that the simplest thanks to study something is to ascertain it. By seeing things in augmented reality (AR), users can see the size of an object and also details they could not notice from just an easy picture.

To keep this easy to access, Google puts its 3D animals and other AR objects right at the highest of search. for instance , checking out “tiger” will show a Google Search Knowledge Panel. These panels are often shown for movies, famous celebrities, and other subjects. within the case of a 3D animal through Google, you’ll see an summary of what the animal is, a couple of images or it, and a section that says “Meet a life-sized tiger up close” and a “View in 3D” button. That button launches the AR experience.
Google’s 3D animals are different on every device. Typically speaking, you would possibly not see AR or 3D objects on a personal computer or laptop. Rather, you’ll need a supported smartphone to look at these objects using Google’s “view in space” option.
Android smartphone or tablet: Android 7.0 or higher
iPhone/iPad: iOS 11.0 or higher
After you press “view in 3D,” any supported device will show a “view in your space” button underneath the 3D animal. this will be seen below.you can resize the animal from its life-size by pinching on it. Slowly, it will go down in size to better fit into your setting.
Right now Google’s got over 30 3D animals available to check out in AR:
