Following an announcement at Google I/O earlier this year, the collection of 3D objects available in Search is expanding. Available now, a bunch of athletes from the Olympics can now be viewed in 3D through Search, and Google is even advertising them in Discover.
Like the 3D animals that kicked off the trend, Olympic athletes in Google Search are animated models that show up under specific search keywords. Those keywords are, for the most part, the name of the athlete. One of the more popular examples includes Simone Biles, but the full list includes at least nine athletes.
The athletes included aren’t just from one country, either. While four are from the United States, there’s also representation from Britain, Japan, India, Brazil, and Germany.
3D Olympic Athletes in Google Search
The full list of athletes that are supported in Google’s 3D objects is below, but what’s fun is that it goes beyond just showing the Olympic athletes in one action. Each person gets a couple of different moves they might do during an event, and there are even sound effects attached. We’ve listed as many as we could find below.
