Check out everything about VPS, a Google Maps technology
The VPS is nothing more than a technological invention that allows the electronic device to determine its location through visual cues.
Google Maps uses VPS to provide location for users of its 'Live View' AR feature. Through the cell phone camera, people will have access to improved locations in augmented reality in real time.
Thus, the VPS determines the location of a device also through the images, and not by the satellite location only. We have to consider the quality of the images offered to the application, as the VPS creates a map by taking a series of images from
places known and analyzing the most important visual characteristics.For the technology to work, Google connected the tool with Street View images, making them the basis of the VPS.
Through the ARCore Geospatial API, it is possible to attach contents remotely to any area covered by Google Street View, and then provide augmented reality experiences at scale global.
It also manages to merge all the user's local coordinates with the geographic coordinates of the VPS. This way, the person using the application can work in a single coordinate system.
Among some advantages, we can mention that the use of VPS is very useful in urban areas where the GPS service is ineffective. In addition, it can be used both indoors and outdoors, as well as in places where the GPS itself is not guaranteed to be accurate.
