Watch Google 3D animals in AR

Welcome to the tech desk of guiding point. In todays tutorial, I will help you in watching googles 3D animals on your phone. 

Google announced its support for  3D animals in AR(Augmented Reality) in 2019 I/O events. With this you can watch animals like Panda, Tiger, Lion etc. in 3D at your home.

The AR animals you can watch are Tiger, Aligator, Fish, Brown bear, Cheetah, Duck, Penguin, Eagle, Turtle, Snake, Macaw, Octopus, Shark, Horse, Lion ,Giant Panda and Wolf.

Follow these steps to watch AR animals in 3D at your home
1)Open Google or chrome (for both android and iOS phones).However there is no support for laptop or PC.

2.)Search for the above 3D animals on google. Like I searched for Panda on google. You can see in the image below.

3)The result for Panda will appear. Then you need to click on ''View in 3D" option.

4.)Then a 3D screen will appear with the animal you searched for. Explore the animal by moving the screen in different direction.

5.)You can easily zoom in and out by using your fingers.

6.)The Panda will disappear from the screen in a minute.
