How-To-Get-Google-3D-Animal

Feeling a little stressed out due to the Coronavirus pandemic and subsequent self-quarantine? Here is a cool iPhone Google trick that will put a smile on your face.

Back at Google I/O 2019, the company announced that it will be adding Augmented Reality (AR) objects to the Google search. Since then, Google has added a lot of 3D interactive objects, but the most fascinating is the Google AR animals. Literally, any Google user can view live animals through their smartphone. If you have a kid, or friends who don’t keep up with the tech, this is your chance to put them at a loss of words.

According to Google, the “easiest way to wrap your head around new information is to see it,” and that is where Google’s “View in 3D” animals come in. Here, you can scale 3D figures, move them around in your surroundings, or juxtapose them in weird places.

How do Google 3D Animals work?

The best part about Google’s new feature is that you don’t need a Pixel phone to make it work. It will work on any smartphone, provided it’s an Android or an iPhone device.

Open Google Search on your Android/iOS

It can be the Google app, the Chrome browser, or even Safari on an iPhone; Google 3D Animals will work as long as it’s a smartphone.

In the Google search bar, type the name of the animal and hit enter.

For instance, you can search for a “Dinosaur” or a “Tiger.”

Scroll down and tap on the “View in 3D” button

If you searched for a “Dinosaur”, you will see a Knowledge Panel. There you will find the button just below the Wikipedia description.

Move your phone

For Google 3D Animals to work, keep moving your device for a few seconds.

A 3D Dinosaur is coming right up!

You will now see the Google AR animal. You can pinch in/out on the figure to increase or decrease its size. Moreover, you can touch and drag the 3D shape anywhere in the room.
