AR in Google Search “View in 3D”

Google updates have launched a new feature for 3D image and augmented reality (AR) which seems to mesmerize people and especially kids. This feature enables you to see animals, the planet, etc. in the three-dimension figures in your own space. This is also helping students to study human anatomy and planetary models provided by NASA from home.

AUGMENTED REALITY (AR)

AR is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world through computer-generated perceptual information. AR can be defined as a system that fulfills three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects.

HOW TO VIEW 3D OBJECTS IN YOUR SPACE

Using the 3D feature is an easy task.

  1. Click on any either Google or Chrome.
  2. Click on search engine and type whichever thing or animal you want to see in 3D for e.g. “snake”.
  3. Click on ‘View in 3D’ (It might ask you permission for access to the camera, if so then you will have to accept it).

  4. A 3D figure of the snake will appear on your screen.
  5. If you want the object to be seen in your place, click on ‘View in your space’ (but this option appears when your phone or tablet has the support of ARcore).
  6. Indications occur showing you to rotate your phone towards a spacious place where the object can be seen.
  7. Now your animal or object will be seen on your screen with the background of your space!!
