What Android phones support 'view in your space' for Google 3D animals [Updated]

Two key parts make up the life-sized creatures that appear in Google Search. The first lets you see animals in 3D, while the second — and most delightful — is viewing them in your current space with the ability to take pictures. Here's what iOS and Android devices support Google 3D animals.

Most modern Android and iOS devices support viewing 3D animals in Google Search. This is the simple ability to "meet a life-sized tiger up close." Your creature of choice will be displayed against a white background, and move naturally with sounds. You can fully rotate and zoom-in as they roar or eat a bamboo stalk — in the case of giant pandas.

However, what makes augmented reality really immersive is the "sense of scale and detail" gained by seeing an animal in your environment. This is done with the "View in your space" button at the bottom of the screen. Unlike the first gallery feature, there are a few technical requirements for AR and seeing a creature next to the couch or in your backyard.

Behind-the-scenes, these augmented 3D animal experiences require the support of Google's ARCore technology. Phones and tablets have to pass a certification process to ensure that the "sensitive motion tracking" — achieved by combining a camera image and the motion sensor — works well. Also required is a "powerful enough CPU" that can run "effective real-time calculations."

We are constantly working with manufacturers to make sure their hardware and designs meet these requirements. At the same time, we are working internally to make sure ARCore integrates well with every model we certify to provide good experiences for users.

Meanwhile, an even more advanced AR capability involves ARCore phones detecting depth. A circular button in the top-right corner lets you turn on/off "object blending" so that a 3D animal can appear behind a piece of furniture instead of just physically standing in front of the scene. Google is recognizing that the background is three-dimensional with depth and not just a flat surface. For an example, be sure to compare the GIFs available here.

'View in your space' troubleshooting

Below is the full list of ARCore devices, but a good shortcut to know whether your phone or tablet will support the full Google 3D animal experience is seeing whether the Google Play Services for AR app is installed on your phone. Visit the Play Store listing to check and make sure it's up-to-date (currently version 1.16).

Throwback: Mobile camera tech was amazing even before iPhone and Android

Credit: Ryan-Thomas Shaw / Android Authority There are few things we take more for granted than snapping a quick photograph with our phones. The rise of computational photography paired with multiple-lenses and the inherent convenience factor have made smartphones the default choice for most users. While it has been years since smartphones completely destroyed the point and shoot market, even high-end SLRs have been facing the heat. However, the camera phone heavy-hitters of today stand on the shoulders of giants. Sure, it might seem that we're seeing a rapid increase in the pace of photography-related innovations but you'd be surprised to know just how many of these have been attempted before, sometimes well over a decade ago. In fact, in many ways, we've come a full circle. Let's look at some of the defining moments in phone camera history and how they shaped modern camera phones.

Is it fixable? Where do I take it to get it repaired? What am I going to use in the meantime? Do I need a new phone? Can I afford any of this? The questions that a smashed handset inevitably raise aren't fun, and breaking a phone in the current situation around the world right now is almost unthinkable. We're relying on them more than ever, and the availability of repair services is at an all-time low as most shops and electronics stores globally remain shut. All that said, for many of us, it's a fact of life that our phones are going to need repairs at some point. Whether it be a simple drop shattering the display or a battery that will need to be replaced after a couple of years, the right phone can make remedying these issues simple enough that, with a little patience,...

Google suspended a popular Android podcast app because it catalogs COVID-19 content

Gambar
© Podcast Addict Podcast Addict, an Android podcast app with millions of users, was suspended over the weekend because it lists COVID-19 content. The app's creator, Xavier Guillemane, tells The Verge that on Saturday, Google suspended and removed the ads from his nine-year-old app because it violated a new policy for developers that requires any app with a reference to COVID-19 to be "published, commissioned, or authorized by official government entities or public health organizations." Guillemane's app catalogs publicly available podcast RSS feeds, which he doesn't control. The content includes news shows, talk shows, and a variety of programming that mentions the pandemic and virus. He says Google told him he'd need to address this problem and then republish his app under a different name to be reinstated. Guillemane says other podcasting apps, including Google's own, list these shows, as well, although he doe...
