How a Software Map of the Entire Planet Could Change the World Forever
Mr. Singularity
π COMMENT Below For 1 Week GOOD LUCK π
π Lidar will be critical to the advancement of a broad variety of new innovations, including automated driving, drone delivery, robots. Lidar marks an eventual transition from rich tech firms producing our planet map data to a more scalable, crowd-sourced solution. Google has recently invested $1-2 billion to create an archive for its Street View Maps product to send cars around continents. Millions of users would soon be scanning everything from bedrooms to cities, culminating in high-quality 3D charts. Some people refer to this concept as a "digital twin" of the earth, a one-to-one software chart of everything.
For Apple's AR devices to function as planned, they would need virtual maps of the globe. Niantic, the $4 billion publishers behind PokΓ©mon Go, is working actively to create a crowd-sourced solution to creating better AR Cloud maps. For drone delivery, driverless vehicles, or to position a Pikachu in a particular spot, say, on a tree branch in a forest, GPS is not precise enough. In the end, this represents the blurring between physical and interactive infrastructure, and public and private areas would be similarly composed of both public and private areas. There is a set of orange cones in a certain area that might one day explain the sense of humor.
The UK-based Facebook, for example, has recently purchased the UK- based Scape, a machine-readable environment, and the way it communicates with the public. As well as the internet, the community is also trying to find out what it can do to make sure it's not just a one-way trip to the movies.
Thanks and Enjoy π₯ π₯
