Before Google has its own pair of augmented reality glasses<\/span> someday, it’ll need AR to work everywhere. World-spanning AR that blankets the real world using map data has been a goal for several companies lately, and Google’s layering its AR using Google Maps.<\/p>\n

The toolkit, announced at\u00a0Google’s I\/O developer conference<\/span>\u00a0on Wednesday, could leap ahead of several competing efforts from rivals such as Niantic, Snap and Apple by using swaths of existing Google Maps data to generate location-specific AR anchors. Google’s doing this using the same technique it used to create AR layers on top of Google Maps, called Live View<\/span>, that were introduced back in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new ARCore Geospatial API, as it’s called for developers, could quickly allow specific augmented reality information to be placed at specific locations around the world, so that many people could see it at the same time and interact with it. It will work in over 87 countries, according to Google, without requiring any location scanning.<\/p>\n

Google’s evolving its own Maps to become more AR-infused over time, including adding an Immersive View<\/span> to certain locations that will create ever-more-detailed scans of indoor and outdoor spaces. But these new moves look like they’ll also enable app developers to create those experiences, leaning on maps data, for themselves.<\/p>\n
