We are certainly addicted to technology in all conditions, such as in the car, where navigators are the masters, "choosing" for us the best way to go from point A to point B. Now we would not even be able to interpret a TuttoCittà and therefore better to develop even more the technology behind a "simple" satellite navigation, in which at the moment we find Google Maps and Apple Maps at the top of this sector, solutions that daily accompany millions of users every day. Alibaba, the Chinese technology giant, takes care of surprising and positively revolutionizing this sector, which has now introduced augmented reality driving through the AR assistant in the car, beating the two rivals just mentioned, on the landing time of this novelty, now available on navigation application Gaode ..
Alibaba introduces the AR assistant for cars ushering in a new smart era
Alibaba therefore arrives before the two American giants Apple and Google: in reality the latter has already developed navigation in augmented reality, but at the moment it is exclusive of the journey made on foot which in any case appears less complete than Alibaba's augmented reality, for the Gaode software, manages to offer. In fact, through the camera, you can have the layout of a complete route with directions, road signs, instructions and warnings, transforming the driving experience much more comfortable, easier and more enjoyable.
Alibaba developed its own AR assistant with the support of experts from the Alibaba Damo Academy Vision Lab. This new technology is able to recognize objects, pedestrians, lanes, passing vehicles, traffic lights and the distances between vehicles. The uses of this new technology patented by Alibaba range beyond the imagination and there is already talk of native uses in car software, adding to the various DAS already present while at present the Alibaba AR assistant is already implemented on Android smartphones with future development for iOS.
