Have you ever wondered what your journey would look like before you undertook it? If you answered yes, Google has an AI-powered feature for you. At Google I/O 2023, Google announced an extension to the Immersive View feature on Google Maps, letting users visualize every segment of a route before they undertake that journey.
Immersive View was announced last year for Google Maps. The feature uses AI and computer vision to merge billions of Street View and aerial images to create a digital model of the world. This year, Google is expanding the feature to Immersive View for routes, bringing all that AI magic to the route that you just chose a few seconds ago.
