When you use Google search, you can always get optimized results based on your query to compare with other search engines. Most of your search can be resolved within the search page itself. You can have an experience like this when you search for a calculator, Money exchange rates like that. Now Google goes to further steps and implements 3D AR experience when you search for the animal’s details. You can get the real 3D experience in your real place with the help of your mobile camera and Google AR. They already rolled out a lot of AR interaction ideas like Star Wars, Iron man in their AR App. Now, they released the experience within Google Search. Below I will explain the complete supported list of animals and How to use them on your mobile.
How to use Google Search 3D AR Animals/Birds?
Unlike the already available AR packs implementation, you don’t need to download the AR packs manually. The available animals 3D render already implemented in the Google search. The process is simple. You have to search one of the AR support Animal or Bird name in the Google search bar. Scroll down the results page, and you can find the option as “View in 3D”.
- Open Google Search in your Chrome Browser.
- Type one of the supporting animal’s name. Example- lion.
- Select Search. You will get a lot of information regarding the particular animal.
- Scroll down, and you can find the column with the animal icon and option as “View in 3D”.
- Select the option and choose “View in your space.” Allow Camera permission.
- Face the camera into the flat surface so that the AR can detect the correct space for the 3D animals.
- When it can’t detect the surface, try with different areas. Sometimes it can’t put the 3D figures in a table like that.
- After AR out the 3D object, you can minimize and maximize the figure. You can also capture the image with your favorite animal or bird.
What are the requirements to use Google Search 3D AR Animals in Search?

Hi Selva,
I Have Samsung a7(2018), but this feature is not working. I get an error as ” Couldn’t load the object,” Can you please let me know if there any patch to get this updated.
Update to the latest Google Chrome version. Did you try other objects? What object did you face the issue?
View in your space option did not come, even after allowing all permission.
Can you mention your mobile model number and browser?
I have Samsung Galaxy A10. I have all the access in my mobile up to date chrome but can’t find the option view in my space? Why?
Now it is working with Samsung Browser. Update and Try in your Pre-Installed Samsung Browser.
I have a mi 5 pro mobile. But there is no option “view in my place” Option.
It will work only with Chrome or Chromium-based browsers. Try with the latest Google Chrome mobile browser.
I’m unable to view the animal in the open space. I use one plus 6 mobile.
We also check with the OnePlus 6. After open the view space give some time or go to the home and open the Chrome browser again. It will work.
I get the “Couldn’t load object” box for every animal. I click the view in 3d button, and then it eventually gives me that error. I have a Samsung Galaxy s10 with Verizon and opening Google through Chrome, and I have the Google Play store. I’ve been trying for two days with no luck on any animal.
Big sized animals like Lion only can load and view in the big surface. Afterload, you can adjust the size. When you can’t get any animals, try with the Chrome beta version. Sometimes the Ar will work after two or three attempts.
Thanks for this info, but I still can’t get the View in my space to show. Samsung A40, Android 9, latest Chrome browser, and Google AR installed.
Try couple of times. Some of the mobiles don’t work in the first try. Also, check with other words.
I try a lot of time. I have a realme 5 pro mobile. I give all permission to access and also update the new version of the browser, but that option is not showing to me.
Try in Chrome beta.
Even in my phone view at my space option is not available. I use Redmi note 8 pro. Can you help? Google Chrome is also updated version n I have tried so many times
Clear Cache in Chrome and Try a couple of times or try with Chrome beta version.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note10+, and I don’t see the “View in my space” either. I can only view the AR objects/animals when I open an incognito page in Chrome – otherwise, I get an error saying, “Couldn’t load object.” In incognito, the object/animal begins on a white background with no sound. I have the latest version of both Chrome and AR for Google Play Services + allowed all permissions incl. Camera.
Chrome versions may vary depending on the devices. So, Try with Chrome beta. The AR works fone on most of the Stock Android mobiles. But, In custom skin OS mobiles like Samsung and other devices, some issues happen.
Couldn’t load object
Cache is cleared
Camera set to ask
Samsung Galaxy note 9 _android 10

Some Samsung devices have problem with default browser. Try with Chrome beta or Chromium-based browsers like Opera.
Not getting view my space…. tried on chrome beta also…cleared all cache… I m using MI Note 5 Pro
Chrome is different for every device. Try two or three times, because of the review space load lately in some devices.
I have Nokia 6(2018) …it has Android one. ..
Now it is updated to Android 10
But when I open any 3d image, it shows “couldn’t load object” ..why
Please help!

Sometimes some objects may not load in all mobiles. It is a temporary error. Try with different objects.
How do you turn the sound on while using the 3D animals?
Try to adjust the volume after you placing a 3D objects in your space.
