Example 1: Google 3D Animals (Web-Based AR)
- What it does: Lets you view life-sized 3D animals in your environment through AR.
- How to use it:
- Open Google on your smartphone.
- Search for an animal, like “tiger” or “panda.”
- Click “View in 3D” and then “View in your space.”
- Point your phone’s camera at an empty area, and the animal will appear as though it’s standing in your room.
- Why it’s useful: Simple, no download required, and fun for demonstrating AR’s ability to overlay realistic 3D objects in the real world.
Example 2: Google Lens
- What it does: Allows you to point your phone’s camera at objects or text to get instant information, translations, or interactive overlays.
- How to use it:
- Open the Google Lens app (available on most Android devices or via Google Photos on iOS).
- Point your camera at an object, such as a plant, a book, or a landmark.
- Lens will provide related digital information, like the plant’s species or reviews of a book.
- Why it’s useful: Demonstrates how AR can turn real-world objects into gateways for learning and exploration.
