All Google 3D Animals You Can View In Your Space and How to Do It

Modern technology has been evolving quite fast, and Google has been at the forefront of that evolution. They’ve innovated a lot in the past 20 years; there’s Google Assistant, Google Voice, Google Fi, and now there’s Google AR. Part of the tech giant’s ever-growing AR system is Google 3D Animals. Not only does this new feature help parents entertain their kids while they’re stuck at home, but it can also help kids learn about different kinds of animals in a fun and interactive way. In this guide, we’ll show you all you need to know about them including the full list of Google 3D animals, and walk you through how to summon them into your very own space. Let’s get started!

What Are Google 3D Animals?

Google 3D animals are among Google’s lineup of 3D objects that you can view through the search function. They’re 3D animations of various animals that can appear wherever you point your phone at. What’s great about these animations is that they’re fairly photo-realistic, and they have sounds that accompany them. Thanks to Augmented Reality (AR), they can fit right into your space as if they’re actually there.

How to View Google 3D Animals in Your Space

Not only are Google 3D animals easy to view in your space, but the function is also widely available to smartphone users. But before you get started, let’s go over the basics first: what would you need for you to view these 3D critters in your own home and how can you find and interact with them?

What Devices Are Google AR Supported?

To view and interact with Google 3D animals, you’ll need an Android phone with Android 7 or higher. If you own an iPhone, it has to have iOS 11 or later.

Then, make sure that your phone supports ARCore, the Google-developed program that allows you to experience AR through your device; without support for ARCore, you won’t be able to view Google 3D animals in your space. If your phone has at least Android 7 or iOS11, then it’s likely compatible with ARCore. You can also check out Google’s full list of ARCore-supported devices if you want to make sure that it is.

Lastly, you’ll need access to the Internet, of course. Either mobile data or a Wi-Fi connection will do.

How to View and Interact with Google 3D Animals?

Now, we’re on to the fun part! Finding and viewing 3D animals in your space is just as easy as doing a Google search and only involves these steps:

1. On your mobile device, head over to Google.com or launch the Google app.
2. Think of an animal you want to view in 3D (e.g. corgi), and type it in the search bar.
3. Next, scroll down until you see an information card that has the “View in 3D” button. Tap on the button.
4. Afterward, the animal will then appear in 3D on your screen. To interact with the animal in AR, tap on the “View in your space” button.
5. If you’re using the AR function for the first time, grant Google access to your camera, microphone, and device storage.
6. Then, simply follow the instructions that appear on your screen.

And there you have it! You now have a Google 3D animal in your own room. Simply pinch to zoom in or out if you want to adjust its size.

Google 3D Animals: The Full List

There isn’t a Google 3D version of every animal you can think of. However, the number of Google 3D animals at the moment is already pretty extensive. Plus, the tech giant still has plans of expanding its list. Currently, there are seven categories of animals you can view in 3D. There are land animals, underwater and wetland animals, birds, house pets, insects, dinosaurs, and the very recently added Australian wildlife animals. So, without further ado, here are all of the Google 3D animals you can view in your own space at the moment.
