A few weeks ago, Google had announced at its Google I/O event about its support for 3D images and AR within search. This feature is no live and available for use. Searches are able to search for objects such as [shark], [lion], [panda], [alligator] and the such. When users perform these searches, they can see those 3D objects in search an then project them into their environments with AR.
To see this feature, open your browser on either iPhone or Android and search for those types of terms. If you scroll down enough you’ll find an option for “View in 3D.” After that, you can click on that to load the object. After that, click on the AR option to see the object in our location through your mobile phone’s camera.
Here is a tweet about it from Barry Schwartz:
