A First Look at Google Maps' AR Future

- Navigation apps are learning to use your camera to locate you far better than GPS ever could-and give you better directions to wherever you're headed. To test an early version of Google's AR mapping features, WSJ's David Pierce takes an augmented walk in San Francisco. Photo/Video: Emily Prapuolenis

There should be a mode where you can put your phone in the front pocket of your shirt so it can see what's ahead and then process it and show the information and direction on your smartwatch.....That would be more cool and practical!!
Awesome! Finally walking directions for the masses.
But Pokémon Go came first
Lol I was going to say the same 😄😄
HAHAHHAHA
No INGRESS came first but wasn't successful until they built pokemon go the same game with different theme
@@jenishjohny Ingress was and IS successful. Nintendo would NOT have partnered with NIA had Ingress NOT been successful.
Love that they recommend not walking while staring at your phone and he’s doing that a dozen times in the video.
Isn't that VPS (Visual Positioning System)? why do you call it AR?
Thirty years later:
Now featuring: Self-walking legs
Controlled by autonomous walking apps. Great. Will it feature a robbing mode? Where the app calculates the most successful get-away route.
2:02 😂😂😂😂
How do I get this one my s9?
didn't nokia or microsoft do something similar with Here Maps(?) years ago?
Yes and HERE are still doing it. As far as i know the company is now owned by the german automakers and they are providing the maps systems for them. That is why the maps in audi, mercs and bmw are so good at the moment. AR was implemented in the new A class by Mercedes. AR will be implemented in the new VW ID in the heads up display. So, yeah, nothing new. However, google maps may not be a better technology compared to the one from Here, and the therefore the maps service in the old nokia phones with windows mobile, but it is more popular. That is the reason why this is in the news, according to me. PS. I used to own a nokia with windows phone, and the maps service was better than the one from google, also the UX for most of the services was better than android and apple. Maybe one day we will see android phones with similar big tiles with easy access and very good UX.
Nokia City Lens
It’s amazing 👍🏻
This can be very helpful I think! :) Maybe with hololens 2?
Can anyone recommend an app where you can load a google earth kml or kmz file into it?
I can follow the map when driving but not while walking. I get 😕 confused.
Make sure to add subtitles on every video.
Just watching this video drained my phone battery.. :/
Stfu 🖕
DON'T be like that
Get a Nokia phone!
So you’re using an iPhone?
Get an iPhone buddy. Androids are very inefficient
What phone is he using?
I personally wouldn't use this, but I can definitely see the technological value in this tech and what it could inspire
How much battery by using this feature?.. using the cam might drain the battery before you reach your destination...
On a more serious note i think developers know what difficulty people face with current format....many people in difficult situation rely on google maps....good to see google bring more reliability into them
From the Verge to WSJ, not bad!
this will come to inventory managment as well
Huh? What do you mean?
Yeah what do you mean so I can build it and make millions
Indoors, really?
Interesting but... I’ve never had an issue using gps + cell tower nav over a 2d map. I wouldn’t really hold my phone up in front of my face to get somewhere. It’s also kind of screaming “I’m lost” or “I’m a tourist” to would-be thiefs!
There was an app on Android back in 2010 called Layar
Black Mirror
Cool feature, is there an option to give you voice with it too? So if you put it down it can guide you by telling you to go forward, turn around, turn left, turn right etc?
"Basic" google maps does that already!
@@JoJo-jy2rw Thanks ill have to check it out.
Was that Emily at 0:38 ?
I have this feature too.
2:03 they say sorry back
Cool but i have privacy concerns.
Stfu 🖕
Privacy is a lie!
What are you hiding, Huh?
Marisol Sanchez google already owns you
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING
@@The_Revolutionist stfu mdf
Google should have a feature that you pay 9.99 for truck drivers that tells you weight specifications, bridges weight limits, tunnels, EAST COAST being so old. Get the point Commercial Vehicle Google feature
2:03 "Sorry"
Miguel Ángel 😂😂
We need glass or some equivalent ASAP! I am so tired of people colliding into me because they are can't put their phone in their pocket.
yupp
Can we just have a street view that doesn't take forever to travel 500ft????
Are the guy who auditioned in american idol??
Better way to get more data .... get your exact location
I don't mind if Google knows everything about me. Instead, I feel like the more data Google has, the more help we can get by it!
@@carlocarnevali7790 they get the help ...for making more money out of you ....sell your personal data to some shady company .......the moment all of this would affect you in your real life you will understand ,what this global giants are doing
I hope that comes to iOS.
Señor Sisig @ 1:40
I wonder if that is the Filipino sisig? Also I would like to know where this place could be.
Horrible Notch!
I feel like we're getting more stupid every year. on a normal sunny day(not snowing or raining), most people should be able to look at the google map for 1/2 minute, determine which side is north, and get a good sense of where your destination is, and able to get there 90% through before looking at the app again. However, it seems like simple stuff is getting tougher for us every passing day.
@Steven Chen - This doesn't work in cities with hi-rise "canyons." However, it might be simpler for Google Maps to add a widget with a compass since Maps already tells you to head, North, etc.
great .......
i want a humanoid robot to lead me every where - so that thinking is not needed.
No wait i want a robot to do the walking - so that no more walking.
No wait - i want direct feed from my brain to comments section on youtube - so that no more typing.
No wait - someone else should do my comment.
He is ignoring the warning "Keep your phone down, while you walk."
AR glasses ... bulls hit
Aaaaaaaand you've to allow Google to access your phones Cam gallery..
Aaaaaaaand you dont know how phones work
Probably will consume a lot of charge. I mean just a simple maps navigation itself takes out a lot of charge.
Awesome!!
So, now we will be like those google cars, this google is going deep..
This kind of AR navigation apps doesn’t exist in China,China has left behind the USA at least 10 years,google is always amazing,they’re doing incredible work
One step closer ..
To the edge
lul google caught up to mercedes haha
I don't know about San Francisco, but in New York you'd have to be brain dead to walk out of subway station without knowing what direction you'll be facing :)
Didnt Chinese baidu maps have AR since 2016?
Had some pkemon go vubes from the thumbnail
The comment section never fails
Baidu maps has implemented this ages ago
So you start the video by saying the issue is the gps is too slow then go to augmented reality as if that magically solves a gps issue?
It seems asking people for directions is a thing of the past now.
Good! It's slow, annoying, and unreliable.
@Charuvind Atre - It's also helpful when traveling if you don't speak the language. I made my way through Western Europe OK, but struggled in Eastern Europe, North Africa, etc. Anytime you want to get away from the tourist areas, you're unlikely to find someone who speaks your language. And even in the U.S.A., I've traveled to areas where I have a hard time understanding the local accent.🖖
0:27 emagine everyone would walk around like this
I thought Pokémon Go was dead
Time to get mugged
Why can’t Google and Apple merge?
Because Apple sucks and needs to disappear from existence.
Google maps are the best nothing comes close, I’ve used Apple, TomTom and many others and trust me I still haven’t found anything that’s comes close. It has so much local knowledge, traffic data and now they’ve added speed cameras.
This feature looks like Pokémon go
You let google access every camera and spy you rather than asking a person straightaway for directions
This looks third party official google ad,
How do I download it?
What's wrong with just asking people for directions?
Because most people these days are either clueless and have no idea how to give directions or people are ignorant and get mad because your bothering them.
Yeah! Battery will last 30 minutes!
👀 👀 👀...
That's not new , Microsoft did it in 2016 with Windows phone ...
Can’t relate
Baidu maps has this since last year already...
or, you could just ask somebody...
Apple Maps SIGNING OUT...
然而百度早就有了
Oh boy ! One more thing Apple has to invent..
Trying to invade our privacy by making us think our lives are easier with that tech.
Google maps is frustratingly horrible 70% of the time I use it. I hate the blue dot 🔵 that doesn’t give you a clear sense of direction and you only start to understand a sense of where you’re going a few blocks down from the point. Even without this AR stuff that won’t be usable for another decade, Google can really improve how their navigation is and copy Waze that gives a much better sense of direction.
Bring it Google.. 🤘

This woman 2:02
as an aside...the amount of folks who wear North Face gear and have never left an urban environment?
cities are cold too, northface is as basic as it gets
are you dumb?
trench coat women @ 2:02
Guess there is no such thing as asking for directions -_-
More road accident to come
Red light district here I come
Come on people , start using your insticts rather .
How can your instincts help when you're looking for an address in a city you're not familiar with?
All this technology would be great.but it opens up the door.u mean google knows us better than family does.the thing I don't like.is when your cell phone is off.your still being tracked.it knows if your in a car,building,on the high way.so for all this easy technology.is not worth it.
Google just copy nokia and micosoft ideas😂😂😂
God bless leggings
not so sexy as hotstepper
lol, and this, people, is how humans get lazier and lazier.
It's just a map
better i would ask for direction to some human being, tecnology will and is dumbing down everyone. We are better than "control tecnologies", but thanks
and if you were in a foreign country that doesn't speak english? it's just a map lol
Ugly phone
Don’t speak much just how to use
"Don't take google maps seriously"
Humans really not capable of asking for some directions on their own and get to the place they want to go? Is this really necessary? Looks depressing. Preserve traditional approaches. Tech giants gotta stop making humans function more stupid for their own profit.
its yes from me
