Google Search now shows Pac-Man, Ultraman, Hello Kitty, and other iconic anime characters in AR

In December last year, Google added a new augmented reality experience to Search that let users view a 3D animated version of Baby Yoda on their devices. The company is now giving a similar treatment to several iconic anime characters, including Pac-Man, Ultraman, Hello Kitty, and more.

As per a recent blog post from the company, you can now view some of the most iconic anime characters in AR using Google Search on your phone. To do so, simply search for one of the characters mentioned below in the Google app or in any Android browser, scroll down to the ‘About’ section, and tap on the new ‘View in 3D’ button. This will open up a new page with a 3D model of the selected character. You can then tap on the ‘View in your space’ button, give the app access to your camera, microphone, and storage, and the model should appear wherever you point the camera.
