It's been a long time since Google stopped working on projects like Tango and its spatial intelligence for focus on ARCore, its new augmented reality platform which allows us, for example and for a year, impressive things like seeing 3D models of objects or animals from the Google search engine of our Android phones.
In fact, the time we have spent indoors over the past few months has meant that many found this feature to be very instructive entertainment even for the little ones, and that's how it is 3D animals gained prominence making Google work on realistic sound effects and systems plus three-dimensional models that The Verge presents today.

Colleagues at 9to5Google also told us that i 23 new members of Google's 3G Zoo they will obviously appear larger than their actual size, given their nature, and they will also have custom sound effects and 3D models that we can zoom in or out, view simulated lighting conditions or position them in Real World ™ pointing the camera of our smartphone.
The beauty is that you don't need a very high performance smartphone but only one compatible with ARCore technology, and fortunately the complete list of compatible devices is large to reach almost all of them.
The trick to seeing these animals in 3D is very simple, you have to search for them by name in Google Search and among the results you will find a button that will say "View in 3D" and that once pressed it will open the three-dimensional model window, with a very good graphic quality and that offers us the possibility to resize it and place it anywhere aiming with the smartphone camera.
The list of animals is extensive, from giant pandas to dinosaurs or adorable baby animals, and the tool allows us to move them with two fingers or even take pictures with them and our family, to share our best creations on social networks.
