Maps will take a real leap into the future thanks to Google’s Artificial Intelligence. The Mountain View company took advantage of its annual Google I/O conference to present the new features to come in its mapping application.
And the least we can say is that the new features that will soon arrive on Google Maps will transform the way you use the maps of the American giant.
Google Maps already in the future
Because if the application was originally designed to help you find your way, Google intends to exploit the power of its artificial intelligence and the billions of aerial images and Google Street View in its possession to push its application to a other level. Thanks to all this data, the Californian company was able to develop Immersive View, a view that should radically change the dimension of Google Maps, putting you directly in the center of the places you want to explore.
Thanks to this immersive view, you will be placed in the center of the scene and will be able to discover a neighborhood as if you were there. The immersive view of Google Maps, combined with the information that the American company has, will allow you to have an exact overview of what a place looks like, regardless of the time of day, current weather, traffic or traffic. bustle in the street.
This immersive view will even allow you in some cases to explore the interior of certain buildings, such as restaurants, in order to have an idea of the atmosphere that reigns there before going there.
Available on all devices today
The icing on the cake, you won’t need to have a state-of-the-art smartphone to enjoy it. Google said it will be available on just about every Google Maps-enabled smartphone and device.
The immersive view, which is being rolled out, will initially allow you to visit Los Angeles, London, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo later this year. Other cities should also be supported very soon.
