Most of the world is stuck at home right now, but those who don’t mind a virtual visit to the zoo, Google’s Augmented Reality (AR) has come to the rescue.

By selecting ‘View in 3D’, a 3D model is generated that lets users spin it around and interact with on their phones. The animal can also move around while investigating their environment as you observe. Click the ‘View in Your Space’ button, and you’ll be asked to scan a flat surface using the camera before placing the 3D animal in the room. It can either be life-sized or miniaturized to fit the space.
