Google Maps' Immersive View is rolling out in five cities
The company built Immersive View using an AI technique called neural radiance fields , which converts photos into 3D representations. With the help of NeRF, Google can"accurately recreate the full context of a place including its lighting, the texture of materials and what’s in the background," according to."All of this allows you to see if a bar’s moody lighting is the right vibe for a date night or if the views at a cafe make it the ideal spot for lunch with friends.
Google laid out some other Maps updates as well. A feature called"glancable directions" will help you track your journey from your lock screen or route overview whether you're walking, on your bike or using public transit. It can tell you where to turn and keep you updated on the estimated time of arrival, and it will update the info if you switch up the route. Glancable directions will arrive on iOS and Android in the coming months.
Moreover, there are more features on the way to electric vehicles with Google built-in. The system will factor in charging stops for shorter trips that require one, and it will suggest the best charging station based on variables like traffic, your current battery level and how much energy your EV is using. You'll have access to a"very fast" filter to locate"stations that have chargers of 150 kilowatts or higher.
