Google has created Search and Maps perhaps the most valuable augmented reality apps in its collection since it has started adding augmented reality features.
At Google I/O 2021, the company revealed an extension of the range of augmented reality animals in Search, which dominated the market in 2020. Some well-known athletes are now included in Google's 3D AR objects. Google search users are now allowed to view chosen athletes in augmented reality starting today. Megan Rapinoe, Simone Biles, and Naomi Osaka were the part of list initially.
These 3D athletes are not just fixed images in Google search views. Users will be allowed to see realistic depictions of each character in action. Users can see Simone Biles' gymnastics regimen, for example. This is on top of the thousands of 3D animals and items that are currently visible.
This latest feature enhances the game of 3D AR animals that Google formerly introduced to the feature. 3D AR animals allows users to see how large a horse or tiger is within the space of the lounge room though not how the horse gallops or the tiger jumps on targets. Tragically, the animals have not moved. The new Google athletes, on the other hand, will perform acts relevant to their sport on almost any level surface of the appropriate size where the user directs the phone.
Other athletes from various adventure sports are predicted to join the platform in the near future, however Google has not verified this. Those hoping to be seeing Cristiano Ronaldo score a free kick in their own backyard will have to be patient for some time.
Each one of the latest 3D AR models is now instantly searchable in Google. Users can, for example, search for Simone Biles and be provided with choices on the subsequent Google search result card displaying various acts that can be seen in 3D AR for the three athletes. For a fact, the company could broaden the functionality to include more athletes from a wider range of sports. Nonetheless, the search company has managed that without the transitions of other, less complicated categories. But, for the time being, Google hasn't specified when this will happen. Or even if it intends to recruit some more athletes in the future.
Users can now check on for these athletes using the Google app for iOS and Android and watch them demonstrating their popular stunts in their own home. Besides that, Google Maps' moving navigation mode, Live View, would witness certain improvements in the following months for iOS and Android.

Nails it! You can now see Simone Biles perform one of the most difficult gymnastics combinations ever completed — from anywhere, in AR. #GoogleIO pic.twitter.com/QJ4GI08cNJ
