Context<\/h4>\n

Urban navigation.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Design concept<\/h4>\n

Make walking directions easier. The\u00a0user\u00a0points their phone\u2019s cameras at their surroundings and machine learning will identify the landmarks based on Street View imagery to pinpoint their location. It can then\u00a0more accurately identify position and orientation, giving directions over the real world. The technical concept is called global localization.<\/p>\n

Experiential qualities and related concepts<\/h4>\n

Control, fluency, locative serendipity, overview, place-specific, trustworthy, visibility.<\/p>\n

Augmentation modality<\/h4>\n

Visual.<\/p>\n
