Google has announced that it is making it possible for Maps users to see nearby establishments and services in AR on their smartphone screen when in the app. This new feature is being rolled out for half a dozen cities, including Los Angeles and Tokyo.
Google is giving Maps users the ability of finding stores, eateries and more in augmented reality. The idea is simply to take advantage of your smartphone's camera to get a new view of your environment with this additional layer and discover on the screen cafes, restaurants, hotels and other establishments listed by Google in a specific area.
