Google Search AR Adds Gomora, Ultraman, and More: Here's the Complete List and How to Access Them

Google Search has finally added new AR effects that include various Japanese characters from popular games and movies. These characters are Hello Kitty, Pac-Man, Ultraman, and more.

"We all need a bit of escapism sometimes, and there's nothing like a blast from the pop-culture past to do the trick," said the giant search engine giant.

"Today, we're bringing characters from classic Japanese anime, games, and TV shows to life - from Pac-Man to Hello Kitty - with augmented reality (AR) in Search," added Google.

The new AR effects are based on characters between the 1950s and the 1980s.
