This document summarizes Google's new Visual Positioning System (VPS) navigation feature for Google Maps. It works by using the camera and computer vision to display augmented reality directions like lit-up arrows instead of relying solely on GPS. The summary compares traditional Google Maps navigation to VPS, noting that VPS does not require GPS, uses less battery, and provides a more user-friendly visual view of surroundings. It also provides a brief history of Google Maps and how the new feature works by pointing the camera where you need to go to see relevant navigation information.
Project Loon is a research and development project being developed by Google
Project loon is a network of balloon Travelling on edge of space , designed to connect with the people In Rural and Remote areas.
Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project.
It includes voice-controlled Android device that resembles a pair of eyeglasses and displays information directly in the user's field of vision.It offers an augmented reality experience by using visual, audio and location-based inputs to provide relevant information.
Global Positioning System (GPS) is the only system today able to show one’s own position on the earth any time in any weather, anywhere. This paper addresses this satellite based navigation system at length. The different segments of GPS viz. space segment, control segment, user segment are discussed. In addition, how this amazing system GPS works, is clearly described. The various errors that degrade the performance of GPS are also included. DIFFERENTIAL GPS, which is used to improve the accuracy of measurements, is also studied. The need, working and implementation of DGPS are discussed at length. Finally, the paper ends with advanced application of GPS.

Emergency medical response in India is lagging behind other countries. This is partially because of lack of technology implementation at ground zero. To address the issue, we are introducing smart ambulance system. It would take India to competitive position in emergency services around the globe. Over the last few years there is a revolutionary development in the field of Internet of Things (IoT).

SII-PIV 54 Spatial and Environmental Injury Surveillance, based on Cape Town, South Africa. So what is the project about? It is about seeing if we can use the geospatial web to work with trauma surgeons, nurses, health officials, to represent trauma injury data in a useful way. It is very informal due to working with coarse data, poor and dangerous neighbourhoods. We focus on ‘one on one’ interactions between the user and the application. And lastly, we hope that these tools will be practical in the health world.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
3. INTRODUCTION
Google I/O conference, showed “combining the power
of the camera and computer vision with Street view and
Maps to reimagine walking navigation.”
4. How users would often have to move around in the real
world to line themselves up with the blue dot marking their
location in Maps.
To avoid any such confusion, Google Maps will instead
display blown-up 3D directions such as lit-up arrows and
precise steps like “6th street is 100 feet away.”
5. HISTORY
Google Maps first started as a C++ program
designed by two Danish brothers, Lars and Jens
Eilstrup Rasmussen.
The application was first announced on the
Google Blog on February 8, 2005 and was located
at Google.
In September 2005 , Google Maps quickly
updated its satellite imagery to allow users to view
the extent of the flooding in various parts of that
city.
6. In October 2009 their team introduced US version of Maps and use their
own data.
On January 29, 2013, Google Maps was updated to include a map of North
Korea
On June 27, 2016, Google rolled out new satellite imagery worldwide
sourced from Landsat 8, comprising over 700 trillion pixels of new data
May 2018 Google announced major changes to the API structure
Aparna Chennapragada introduced one of the best new features: visual
guidance and Visual Positioning System in Google Maps Navigation.
7. HOW IT WORKS
Tap a button to activate visual view .
It just point your camera where you
need to go to see relevant info.
Arrows pointing you in the direction
you need to go, with a small map at the
bottom to remind you where you are
headed.
8. Finally, the Maps team has also been experimenting with a digital
avatar
That can help further guide users, with a cartoon fox shown off as
an example.
A smaller version of the traditional Maps experience will be
displayed on the lower half of the screen, should it be needed.
It would automatically highlight points of interest nearby, such as
cafés or retail stores.
The data retrieve under the Google lens technology ‘smart
selection’ .
10. Traditional Google Map VPS
GPS is needed GPS is not enough
Only street view and satellite view Visual view of surroundings
More battery consumes Less battery usage
Comparatively less User friendly
No use of augmented reality Use augmented reality
COMPARISON B/W Google Map and VPS
11. NEW UPDATIONS IN GOOGLE MAPS
220 + countries are included
2 billion users are using
New tab “for you”
Appointment easily
14. CONCLUSION
Technology is deeply influenced in our daily life. Visual
positioning system replace the Google maps. Google is
“combining the power of the camera and computer vision with
Street view and Maps to re imagine walking navigation.” and
also use the benefits of augmented reality.
