Step-by-step Use AR in Google Search

Install the app
The AugmentedRealityfeature works
within the official Google search app in iOS

download it to your iPhone.

Search for a character
Either launch Safari and go to the
Google website, or open the Googlesearch
app. In either case, type ‘Pac-Man’ and tap
‘Search’ to see the page of results.

Scroll down
The AR option is part way down the
screen, so scroll until you see a card that says
‘See PAC-MAN in your space’. Tap the ‘View
in 3D’ option to make use of the feature.

Google is bringing a host of Japanese characters to life thanks

of you. While it has many ‘serious’ applications,
there is also scope for fun.
Google certainly thinks so. For a while, it
has been letting users of its Search app play
around with dinosaurs, wild animals and items
from history, but now it’s introducing Japanese
characters from the country’s popular culture.
Chief among them is Pac-Man, but there are
many others. Here, we look at how you can bring
them to life...
