Google set to bring augmented reality models to search engine | AR Technology

At the recently held 2019 I/O event, Google announced that they adding a mix of camera and augmented reality (AR) to its search engine that will generate 3D AR models as search results.

For instance, users can have look at “realistic” pairs of shoes they are trying to buy online; similarly, shopping clothes online can also be previewed with one’s existing wardrobe.

Google also exhibited the new technology with more examples at the keynote event. One of those examples was searching musculature, which produced model of human muscles that can be examined as a usual 3D object on the phone screen or can be overlapped on a camera feed. This allows users to see the object in real world. It is still not clear how many of such 3D models will appear as search results and it is also not sure if the publishers will be capable to create their own models.
Google declared a brand new feature referred to as the AR Visual Positioning System. According to then published reports, the company made that feature available only to a few number of users.
