Description :

AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) are two technologies that can be used to overlay digital information on the real world. This can be used to create map locators that are more immersive and interactive than traditional maps.

Here are some examples of how AR and VR can be used for map locators:

• AR navigation: AR navigation apps can overlay directions and other information on the real world, making it easier for users to find their way around. For example, Google Maps offers an AR navigation mode that uses your phone's camera to overlay directions and landmarks on the street in front of you.
  
  
• VR tourism: VR tourism apps can allow users to virtually explore different locations. This can be used to provide users with a more immersive experience of a place, or to help them plan a trip. For example, the Google Earth VR app allows users to explore the world in 360 degrees.

• AR games: AR games can use the real world as a game board. This can make games more immersive and interactive. For example, the Pokemon Go game uses AR to overlay virtual Pokemon characters on the real world.

• VR training: VR training can be used to simulate real-world scenarios. This can be used to train people for jobs, such as pilots or surgeons. For example, the Boeing 737 MAX simulator uses VR to train pilots on how to fly the aircraft.Opens in a new window

AR and VR are still emerging technologies, but they have the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with maps and the world around us. As the technology continues to develop, we can expect to see even more innovative and immersive map locators being developed.
