At its I/O conference in 2019, Google announced that it would be adding augmented reality objects to Search. Over the year since, Google has a bunch of 3D animals you can view in Google Search using AR — here’s the full list.

How to find 3D animals on Google

Google’s AR objects in search are incredibly easy to access. The objects are added to search in the belief that the easiest way to learn about something is to see it. By seeing things in augmented reality (AR), users can see the scale of an object and also details they might not notice from just a simple picture.

To keep this easy to access, Google puts its 3D animals and other AR objects right at the top of search. For example, searching for “tiger” will show a Google Search Knowledge Panel. These panels are often shown for movies, famous celebrities, and other subjects. In the case of a 3D animal through Google, you’ll see an overview of what the animal is, a few images or it, and a section which says “Meet a life-sized tiger up close” and a “View in 3D” button. That button launches the AR experience.
What you need to view AR objects on Google

Google’s 3D animals are different on every device. Typically speaking, you might not see AR or 3D objects on a desktop computer or laptop. Rather, you’ll need a supported smartphone to view these objects.

The good news? Most modern smartphones are supported! To view AR objects in Google Search you’ll need:

Android smartphone or tablet: Android 7.0 or higher w/ pre-installed Google Play Store

iPhone/iPad: iOS 11.0 or higher

If you’re not sure if 3D animals and other AR objects in Google Search will work, just give it a shot!

List: 3D animals available on Google Search

So, what AR animals can you view on Google Search? Technically, there’s no official list from Google for 3D animals, but there’s a number of known examples, many of which we’ve gone hands-on with so you can see how it all works in action.

These include:

Alligator

Angler fish

Brown bear

Cat

Cheetah

Dog Labrador Retriever Pug Rottweiler

Duck

Eagle

Emperor penguin

Giant panda

Goat

Hedgehog

Horse

Lion

Macaw

Octopus

Shark

Shetland pony

Snake

Tiger

Turtle

Wolf

There are probably other examples we haven’t identified and, more than likely, Google is adding more over time! After all, this list has expanded since Google originally announced 3D animals in 2019.

What other AR objects are available in Google Search?

There’s more than just 3D animals in Google Search. On top of that, Google can also show some other objects. To do this, Google partners with certain websites and brands to show products, furniture, and even the human body in 3D. We’ve listed some examples below.

Human skeleton

NASA objects Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus Pluto

These examples aren’t quite as straightforward as the 3D animals, though, as the 3D models appear lower in search results alongside the websites that power them. From time to time, too, they just won’t appear. The planets, for example, appear more reliably when you add “in depth” to the search query.

You’ll need to give Google access to your camera for it to be able to insert the panda into your space.

What animals can you find?

There are loads of different animals you can see through the feature.

For iPhone users, you need to be running iOS 11.0 or later. You’ll likely already be running iOS 11.0 or later, but if you’re not sure, simply head to your settings > general and then tap software update.

El truco de Google para ver un tiburón o un tigre en 3D en el salón de tu casa que triunfa en las redes sociales

¿Te aburres de ver siempre la misma decoración en casa y compartir el espacio con los mismos seres vivos después de quince días de cuarentena? No te preocupes: vas a poder encontrarte en tu salón un león, un tigre, un oso o incluso un tiburón.
Google y su magia te permiten jugar con la realidad aumentada y ver un montón de animales en tres dimensiones desde la cámara de tu teléfono móvil. Solo tienes que escribir el nombre del animal que deseas ver en el buscador y te aparece una caja en la que pone ‘Ver en 3D’.

Después de haber pulsado sobre el icono se abrirá la cámara del teléfono móvil y el sistema mismo lo coloca en tu pasillo, en tu ventana o encima de la mesa de tu comedor. ¡Hasta se puede mover y aumentar sus dimensiones!

It’s AR of the tiger!

If you’ve got an AR-enabled phone, you can now bring select animals right into your space for a safari (or safe snuggle) with Search. pic.twitter.com/kWpudETgeq — Google (@Google) May 31, 2019

Lo cierto es que esta función no es nueva: el gigante tecnológico la lanzó el año pasado. Sin embargo, el aislamiento impuesto por el coronavirus la ha vuelto a poner de moda, como tantas otras cosas.

Es compatible con los sistemas operativos iOS y Android, teniendo como único requisito que el smartphone con el que se haga sea compatible con ARCore, que es el motor de realidad aumentada de Google.

¿Qué animales puedes ver en tu casa?

Gracias a esta divertida función de Google podrás entretenerte con los pequeños -y no tan pequeños- de la casa viendo en 3D los siguientes animales:

León -escribe también ‘animal’ para verlo-

Tigre

Leopardo

Tiburón

Erizo

Pato

Pingüino emperador

Lobo

Cabra

Rottweiler (perro)

Serpientes

Águila

Oso

Caballo

Poni

Tortuga

Gato

Pulpo

Perro

Oso panda

Alligator

“Una cosa es leer que un gran tiburón blanco puede medir 18 pies de largo, otra es verlo de cerca en relación con las cosas que te rodean”, afirma Google.

No están todos los animales, lógicamente, pero hay muchísimos y puedes pasar una tarde de sábado muy entretenida con tus hijos. Es cuestión de probar.

Y después, ya sabes: no pasa si no lo cuentas, así que puedes hacerte una fotografía con tu animal favorito y compartirla en redes sociales.

⚡Why Quarantine Alone? Google 3D Animals Can Bring Pandas, Lions & Others to Your Home Amid Lockdown

Google lets wild animals and birds come near you with their 3D feature. Last year, Google introduced a new way for people to interact with their favourite animals online, thanks to augmented reality.

Google Play rolling out Material Theme account switcher

Last year, the Play Store underwent a full revamp and later gained a dark mode. The latest tweak to help conform the Android app to Google’s latest look is a Material Theme account switcher.
Like Gmail and most other G Suite apps, your profile image now appears at the right of the search bar. Tapping opens the full menu to let you view all accounts signed-in on your device. However, swiping on your avatar is a much faster way to switch.

This new addition to the top field pushes voice search to the left, and that microphone is hidden when you first open the app to make way for the Google Play animation. Meanwhile, the nav drawer is now shorter given the absence of the switcher and is home to another logo.

That navigation prevents the app from being fully Material as settings and account information is only accessible here. The next redesign hopefully moves all these items to the account switcher menu, like in the Home app and Google Maps.

The Google Play Material Theme switcher was first A/B tested last December, but is now rolling out on a handful of our devices. We’ve encountered it with version 19.3 and 19.4 of the Play Store naturally. However, you can manually enable the design element.

With version 19.3/4, visit the Google Play Store’s App info page, go to “Storage & cache,” and tap “Clear storage.” Open the app, but proceed to close it again from the system Recents/multitasking menu. After this double-step, the new account switcher will appear.
