With most people being in quarantine, people are resorting to Google's 3D feature to keep their children engaged. The augmented reality lets children see animals virtually. For parents staying indoors, it is a fun way to keep children entertained. The feature lets children see animals in real-life size through smartphones. You can also click pictures of your children standing next to these animals and birds. And now people have taken to Twitter sharing pictures of their children with these animals. You can see 3D images of animals and birds including lion, tiger, cheetah, shark, hedgehog, duck, Emperor penguin, wolf, angler fish, goat, rottweiler, snakes, eagle, brown bear, alligator, horse, shetland pony, macaw, pug, turtle, cat, octopus and dog. Why Quarantine Alone? Google 3D Animals Can Bring Penguins, Pandas, Lions to Your Home Amid The Lockdown; Let Your Kids and Kid in You View The Magic!
To use the feature, you have to Google the name of an animal, for example: 'lion'. You will see a box which says, 'Meet a life-sized giant panda up close'.It will be followed by an option which reads 'view in 3D' button', and proceeds to 'view in your space'. After this, you will see a life-size image of a lion in your surrounding. For this, you will have to give Google access to your camera and your device will need to be AR-enabled.
Check Out 3D images of animals and birds with children below:

Playing With Animals!
We had our favourite animals come to visit thanks to Google’s Augmented Reality. Just Google your favourite animal then scroll down to ‘view in 3D’. After this, Dougie went to find all his tiger books so we could sit and have a read @RTclass2019 pic.twitter.com/3LyxsnUiGI
