The Tokyo 2020 Olympics is just around the corner and ahead of the multi-nation event, Google has launched a new feature for fans to enjoy the action of their favourite athletes. Earlier this year, Google announced the I/O feature which now allows the support of AR (Augmented Reality) athletes which includes the likes of Indian badminton star PV Sindhu and American Gymnast Simone Biles. So fans searching for how to watch PV Sindhu’s skills in 3D with Google AR can scroll down below. Google ‘View in 3D’ AR Feature Adds 50 New Animals, Here’s How You Can See Hippo, Cat, Giraffe, Cow & Zebra in Your Space.
The AR feature launched by Google supports only a limited number of athletes as at the time of launch it only included American gymnast Simone Biles, USA football player Megan Rapinoe and tennis player Naomi Osaka. However, now, Google has added support for Indian badminton player PV Sindhu, who will represent India at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, to the list.
