Augmented Reality is now in GPS, A fun new Google maps feature shows walking directions on real world images
Google on Thursday announced that it’s rolling out a beta version of its Google Maps
AR directions feature for Android and iPhones.
What is AR?
Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment
where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by
computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities,
including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory.
Google Maps AR
Google Maps new AR feature uses a Smartphone’s GPS
and camera to implement an augmented reality-powered GPS navigation system.
With the AR feature, the driver no longer needs to follow a map on their phone.
Instead, they’re guided by a virtual path on the Smartphone camera preview.
The new AR feature is not only intuitive, but it’s
also safer than traditional navigation apps, Drivers can rest assured they won’t
miss anything crucial on roads or highways,
as the real time camera preview enables them to check conditions on the screen
without impacting driving safety
Next level navigation
Before Google Maps imagine how difficult it was to
search any place or any direction. We need to ask number of different kind of
people to find one place, but now by simple click you will get your destination
without asking someone. Google Maps AR will bring navigation to next level
