【Underwater Love】

Google wants you to really be able to see your favorite athletes do Underwater Lovecool things.

The company rolled out a new augmented reality feature during Tuesday's Google I/O event. If you search for gymnast Simone Biles, soccer star Megan Rapinoe, or tennis player Naomi Osaka in Google, then you might get to see little AR versions of the athletes perform feats right where you are.

So basically, you can pull up your phone and have Biles do some flips right in your backyard.

I gave the new feature a quick test run and it was pretty neat. I simply searched Simone Biles and the option to watch her in 3D popped right up.

To actually use the new AR feature, I had to navigate to the Google app. From there, I needed to give Google access to my photos and camera in order to have Biles do the move in my space. Anyway, here's a hilariously oversized Simone Biles about to do a triple double in my kitchen.

Google used Biles, Rapinoe, and Osaka as examples on Tuesday, but there was no word on whether athletes would be added as time went on.
