Are you ready to bring the jungle to your living room or have an ocean creature swim in your backyard? With the power of augmented reality (AR) and your smartphone, you can now view 3D animals in your space without having to visit a zoo or aquarium. Whether you want to explore the majestic movements of a tiger, the adorable antics of a penguin, or the powerful presence of a great white shark, here's how you can do it in just a few simple steps.
First, you'll need a smartphone or tablet that supports Google's ARCore. Most modern smartphones are compatible, but you can check Google's official list to confirm. Once you've confirmed your device is supported, you'll need to have the Google app installed on your device.
Now, open the Google app and type the name of the animal you want to see in 3D. For example, if you want to see a lion, simply search for 'lion'. Scroll down the search results until you come across a card that says 'View in 3D'. Tap on that option to activate the AR experience.
After tapping 'View in 3D', you'll be prompted to move your smartphone around to scan the room. This step helps the AR technology understand the space and place the 3D animal more accurately. Once the scanning is complete, you'll see the 3D animal appear in your space through your phone's screen.
You can resize the animal by using familiar pinch-to-zoom gestures, allowing you to make the animal smaller or larger depending on your preference. Additionally, you can move around the animal to view it from different angles, getting up close to examine its details or viewing it from a distance to see its full form within your space.
The AR experience doesn't stop there. You can also capture the animal in your space by taking photos or recording videos. Immortalize the moment by posing with the 3D animal or capturing it in action, so you can share the experience with friends and family on social media.
The ability to view 3D animals in your space adds a new dimension to learning and entertainment. Whether you're educating your children about wildlife or simply enjoying a virtual safari in your home, AR technology opens up exciting possibilities for exploration and creativity. So, grab your smartphone, open the Google app, and start bringing 3D animals to life in your space today!
