What is the benefit of using advanced geospatial technology in an AR game like Breakpoint Blocks? 🌍 1️⃣ Visual Positioning System (VPS): Global scale for AR The VPS uses data from Google Street View / Google Maps to provide a global AR experience. 🛰 The device's sensors and GPS work together to sense the environment and compare images captured by the device's camera to the VPS model. This precise process determines the exact location and viewing direction of the user's device, laying the foundation for a global AR experience. 2️⃣ Localization with Street View imagery This technology is based on Google's 15 year collection of Street View imagery. 🗺 Deep neural networks identify and describe recognizable features that are combined across billions of images to create a 3D point cloud of the global environment. This comprehensive localization model covers countries, provides trillions of points, and ensures unprecedented accuracy. 3️⃣ Geospatial AR Element Placement Redefines AR element placement by defining horizontal (latitude and longitude) and vertical (elevation) positions according to the WGS84 specification. 🌐 This enables seamless placement of AR elements worldwide, eliminating manual mapping and opening up creative possibilities in a variety of landscapes. 4️⃣ Physical Object Tracking The system designed for device localization extends its capabilities to tracking physical objects. 🔍 The position of the tracked object is transmitted to viewer devices, allowing AR elements to be displayed at the exact position of the tracked object. This opens up new dimensions for interactive and dynamic AR experiences. Breakpoint Blocks turns the environment into a digital playground. 🟧🏙️ The goal of the game is to conquer buildings that can be captured using AR by throwing colored blocks. The blocks represent the players. They remain virtually attached to the building. 🛡️ The player with the most blocks on a building conquers and defends it. The game impressively demonstrates the potential that AR experiences could have in the future. 🚀 By integrating geospatial data, the user plays in the real world, creating a completely new gaming experience and actively encouraging the use of outdoor spaces. 📲 Download Breakpoint Blocks for free: Android / iOS (Links in comment) #BreakpointOne #DigitalCreator #BreakpointBlocks #ARgaming #GeospatialTech #ARcore

As I mentioned in my last post, Google's Immersive view is a brilliant way to visualize the maps. For now, it covers most of the popular cities and is expanding to other POI's across the world. It may take time and going forward might become costly to integrate, as it is built upon a flood of data, huge infrastructure and lots of resources. The closest thing one can build, to mimic it, is 3D/4D models. Google Maps supports modeling via WebGL and works very well with three.js. I tried some hands on Google Map codelab's on WebGL and the result is beautiful. Visit the demo link to see the outcome. https://lnkd.in/d2bRxu7q Inspired by, MapmyIndia / Mappls 3D Metaverse view https://lnkd.in/dU7Sa5Dd #GoogleMaps #MapmyIndia #webgl #3d #threejs

⚡The 10 Most Popular #AR #Prototypes showcased by #Designium⚡ 🕰️ No. 5 - Time Machine When the functionality to place AR content using #Google #GeospatialAPI or #VPS became accessible, we started repeatedly considering what digital content we'd prefer to deploy on-site 🤔 ▶ What is the significance of placing these AR contents? ▶ How does it integrate with the surroundings or interact with the user? The concept of the #TimeMachine is one of the best answers we found. Time Machine recreates past #historical #data, #photo, #video and #3Dmodel in AR, providing users with a virtual experience that transcends time and space. As a result, we have developed a series of successful AR #app that bring the historical significance of the AR content itself back into the real environment 🏯💬 Now, this classic AR creation, compatible with various devices & platforms, has evolved into a cross-platform #XR experience.
