Google is developing a new Google Maps augmented reality (AR) feature that will help pedestrians navigate routes more easily. The technology combines AI, AR and a smartphone camera to match a user's position with Google Street View. The feature will then highlight landmarks along the route using a real-time camera feed on a mobile device. In addition to helping people find their way around cities, this could also be used for emergency response or disaster relief.
