Google is launching Live View, an augmented reality app, in betaletterfor walkers that works with Google Maps.
Google is launching a program augmented reality (AR = Augmented reality) with the name Live View which you will address to those who like to take walks and in collaboration with Google Maps will guide them online giving them directions to their destination.
The app will be available on all iOS devices and Android that have AR system support. On iOS, that means ARKit-compatible devices, and on Android, that means all smartphones that support Google's ARcore, and if "Street View" is also available where you are.
The program has been available in an early Alpha mode to both Google Pixel users and Google Maps Local Guides since the beginning of the year, but will be available to everyone starting today. How soon you will receive it depends on when the upgrade will be done to you.
The early version had the ability to mark any location near Maps, then tap the “Directions” button, then navigate to “Walking” and then tap “Live View” projection) that appears near the bottom of it screen. Logically, the Beta version should work in a similar way.
Η λειτουργία Live View δεν έχει σχεδιαστεί με την ιδέα ότι θα κοιτάτε συνεχώς μπροστά σας το χάρτη στο τηλέφωνό σας καθώς θα περπατάτε. Αντίθετα διαθέτει ένα γρήγορο, εύκολο και εξαιρετικά χρήσιμο προσανατολισμό, δείχνοντας την πορεία σας με μεγάλα βέλη που επικαλύπτονται στην πραγματική σκηνή που λαμβάνει η κάμερα σας, ώστε να μην χρειάζεται να προχωράτε κοιτώντας συνέχεια με το mobile. Αυτό το κάνει πολύ πιο εύκολο να προσανατολίσετε σε άγνωστες περιοχές, κάτι που είναι εξαιρετικά χρήσιμο όταν ταξιδεύετε σε άγνωστη χώρα.
Google Maps will also receive various other upgrades, such as offline backups and more. This, as well as a new redesigned Timeline, which will only run on Android devices for 2019, should also be released to everyone in the coming weeks.
