Niantic's AI project leverages the vast visual data gathered by Pokémon Go players, creating a geospatial model capable of understanding complex 3D spaces through user-generated images.
Players of Pokémon Go contribute unintentionally to training AI models for geospatial awareness, allowing the AI to understand the architecture and layout of various locations beyond just frontal views.
Through the Pokémon Playground feature, participants can capture and submit images from multiple angles, enriching Niantic's database of 3D world representations used for its visual positioning system.
With 10 million scanned locations globally, Niantic's VPS service aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of spatial relations in the real world, enhancing augmented reality experiences.
