Google Search now includes AR models in the results. — Google

Google announced late last week that select animal search results on certain smartphones will now be accompanied by a "View in 3D" option; when tapped, not only can you turn, flip, and rotate the animal of your choice to get a better look, but also you can also select "View in your space" to see it in your office or bedroom via your smartphone's camera lens. 

In early May at Google's annual developer conference, the company announced that 3D and AR models will soon be listed among the rest of a user's web search results on AR-enabled smartphones. On Friday, that feature began rolling out in the US – but only if you search for animals.
