EE’s tools aren’t the only option to bring fantastical beasts into your home using AR.
During lockdown, Google launched an AR animal feature. This allows him to view and interact with his 3D animals from the comfort of his own home.
Aparna Chennapragada, vice president of Google Lens and AR, explained in a post at launch:
“For example, it’s one thing to read that a great white shark can be 18 feet long. It’s another thing to see it up close in relation to what’s around you.
“So when you search for an animal of your choice, the knowledge panel will give you the option to view it in 3D and AR.”
