Google Maps for iPhone will use AI and AR to provide visually impaired people with information about their surroundings.
Just the other day, we talked about how unusual it is for the iPhone version of Google Maps to get new features before the Android version. Google did it with the weather information, and it's about to do it again with a brand new accessibility feature for Google Maps. iPhone users who are blind or suffer from vision impairments will be able to use Lens in Google Maps to orient themselves. That's just one of the new accessibility features coming to Google Maps in the near future.
This feature should complement a different Google Maps accessibility feature that Google launched a few years ago to help blind and low-vision people navigate their surroundings. Detailed voice guidance lets visually impaired smartphone owners use Google Maps to navigate to their destination. The new Lens in Maps search feature lets you orient yourself no matter where you might be. The new feature will be available on iPhone this week, with Android users getting it later this year.
