#HALLOWEEN 3D GHOST ANDROID#

Searches for “skeleton” and “jack-o’-lantern” (and some variations) will bring up the others. The latter two appear when you google for the keywords “dog” or “cat,” while a search for “hot dog” will pull up the playful dachshund that paws at the ground and wags its tail. In addition the AR ghost, you can search for a set of three jack-o’lanterns, a dancing skeleton, a hot dog (well, a dog in a hot dog costume), a pirate dog, and a magic cat. You can then take a photo or a video to share elsewhere, if you choose.

Spooky, Halloween music will also play in the background as the AR objects float or dance in your space. The object even leaves a shadow on the floor, to make it seem like it’s really there. Once the AR object has been placed in your room, you can move around it to view it from different angles, move closer or further away, or drag it around it around with your finger. Google says the features work in the Google Search app and in the mobile browser.

On Android devices, however, the ghost immediately appears in 3D but there’s a separate button, “View in your space,” that will place the ghost in the environment with you. On the iPhone, you’ll first have to move the phone around the room to get started, as with other AR apps. Ahead of Halloween weekend in the U.S., Google has launched a set of fun, augmented reality-powered features on Google Search which appear as an option when you search for specific Halloween terms using a mobile device.įor example, if you search for the word “Halloween” and scroll down the search results page, you’ll see a box that prompts you to “Summon up a 3D ghost.” When you tap the “View in 3D” button, you’re able to see the ghost floating around your room. There’s a dancing skeleton, set of creepy jack-o’-lanterns, and costumed cats and dogs, too.
