All you need to do is do a simple Google search for an animal such as “giant panda” on your smartphone.
Then you need to scroll until you find a new little box which says “Meet a life-sized giant panda up close.”
The feature is located underneath the images and brief Wikipedia description which appears at the top of the search.
Click on “view in 3D” and then you’ll need to move around your phone until the furry animal appears in your own room or surroundings.
The feature works for a number of animals, including sharks, tigers, hedgehogs and ducks.
Your device will need to be AR enabled in order to project the animals into your house, so you may have to download the latest operating system for it to work.
And it seems checking out the feature is totally worth it, as many have written on Twitter how much it is keeping them occupied during self-isolation.
One person wrote: “So everytime I feel lonely & blah during these times of #SocialIsolation I get one of these guys to give me company.”
Another account added: “A quick activity to bring a smile to your face, search any animal on your mobile on google and view these animals in 3D…… endless amount of fun for adults and kids.”
Meanwhile, a mum shared her homeschool timetable and people are loving the 3pm ‘mum quits’ section.
And mums are sharing hilarious memes as they grapple with homeschooling their kids.
Meanwhile, this mum was in shock after buying 18 loo rolls only for her kids to put them all in the bath.
