One example of AR in action is the popular game Pokemon Go, which allows players to interact
with virtual characters in the real world. While it was successful, it was banned in some areas due to
safety concerns. AR also has serious applications, such as in medical apps like Eye Decide, which help
patients visualize and understand their eye health.
Google Maps: Google Maps uses Artificial Intelligence
(AI) to enhance navigation by predicting traffic
conditions, estimated travel times and suggesting
optimal routes. It utilises AI technologies like natural
language processing and computer vision to provide
real-time updates and location tracking.
The app’s machine learning algorithms improve map
accuracy, update traffic information in real-time and
offer alternative routes with lighter traffic when
needed. As AI evolves, Google Maps will become even
more intelligent and adaptive, further integrating into daily life.
Image Recognition through Google Lens: Google Lens is an
exciting tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning to turn your phone into a visual assistant. It’s
especially helpful for visually impaired individuals, as it can
describe objects and surroundings. With Google Lens, you can
translate text or foreign language signs in real-time by simply
pointing your phone at them. This feature works like a magic
lens that brings everything into focus on your phone screen.
Whether you're travelling or just curious, Google Lens helps
you understand the world around you by translating text while
keeping the original context.
For example, if you spot a sign in a foreign language, Google Lens can translate it instantly, preserving
the meaning of the text. Isn't that a fascinating way to use technology?
