3D Dinosaurs Are Ready To Invade Your Phone Via Google Search Update
If you’ve run out of at-home family activities, why not bring the kids to Jurassic Park?
Well, a virtual edition, at least. Google Search’s most recent update has added life-sized dinosaurs to their augmented reality (AR) zoo. Families can now use their phone cameras to project the towering reptiles in their dining rooms and backyards, by searching “dinosaur” in the Google app and tapping the “view in 3D” option.
Thought AR cats and tigers were fun? Now you can turn your home into #JurassicWorld with AR dinosaurs. Search for dinosaurs using your mobile device and tap “View in 3D” to see them in your room. Share your best creations using #Google3D#3Ddinos. https://t.co/BjAYYywfoX 🦕🦖 pic.twitter.com/QXjd7RhEtz

Some have enjoyed projecting their new jumbo-sized friends onto unlikely locations, like by windows or on street corners.
