VPS vs GPS

GPS:- Global Positioning System

VPS:- Visual Positioning System

Google on tuesday teased up coming changes to Google maps, among the augmented reality support and a concept called "VPS", short for visual positioning system. VPS is a related feature, combining the live camera view with google's data trove to get a better sense of position than possible with just GPS.

With AR on, a future version of the maps app will merge its traditional interferance with a live camera view. When doing navigation, superimposed arrows will appear at each turn, making it harder to misinterpret directions. The company is eve experimenting with intresting animated characters such as fox which would remove any doubt and make the app more entertaining.

AR tehnology may also make its way into the rest of the app, for example popping up an information card while looking at store front.

A less radical additional in the works is a "for you" tab that will show nearby points of intrest, with a "your match" fearture attempting to custom tailor recommendations. One intended use of this is sharing lists with friends instead of having to rattle off names from memory.

Google VP Aparna Chennapragada didn't say when these features might come to maps, or if they'll be available on IOS as well as Android.

Apple has expressed its own intrest in AR, engineering newer iphone cameras with it in mind, and providing AR kit to developers wanting to build apps. The company is rumored to be working on a standalone headset with features like 8K eyepieces and its own operating system, current dubbed "rOS".
