Immersive AI-powered view coming soon to Google Maps will raise the realism bar for mapping

Thanks to advances in computer vision and AI that allows Google to fuse together billions of Street View and aerial images to create a rich, digital model of the world — they’ve introduced a whole new way to explore with Google Maps. With their new immersive view, you’ll be able to experience what a neighborhood, landmark, restaurant or popular venue is like — and even feel like you’re right there before you ever set foot inside. So whether you’re travelling somewhere new or scoping out hidden local gems, immersive view will help you make the most informed decisions before you go.

Glide down to street level to explore nearby restaurants and see helpful information, like live busyness and nearby traffic. You can even look inside them to quickly get a feel for the vibe of the place before you book your reservation.

This is clearly a whole level above plain satellite imaging and 3D buildings. It starts rolling out in Los Angeles, London, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo later this year with more cities coming soon.
