Apple plans to add a panorama of the streets in the cards
that are available on mobile devices running iOS. This can be judged by the new
patent application filed by the corporation in the Patent and Trademark United States.
Based on the description of the patent, entitled «3D
Position Tracking for Panoramic Imagery Navigation», we are talking about the
navigation for mobile Apple devices with a panoramic image. In comparison can
result in the advancement of Google, produced on the beginning of equipment,
"Street View." The latter gives the opportunity to walk in different
corners of the planet and live acquainted with the sights and objects in any
city.
True to Apple's technology has its own characteristics. In
particular, in determining the user's position will involve a set of sensors
embedded in the iPhone and iPad. For precise positioning of the provisions will
answer these sensors like accelerometer, gyroscope and even a built-in digital
camera that will spy on, where is the user.
In the description also says that the panorama of streets
can be used in conjunction with several devices that will enhance the image.
It should also be noted that in 3D-mode, people can get
information about various objects. Moreover, being inside of a building, the
screen will display his plan, provided that it is of such information. Although
the implementation of such features and content information about the objects
is necessary to agree on cooperation with regional companies.
On the timing of implementation of the technology,
"Street View" by Apple, as usual, are not reported.
