Niantic Leverages Pokémon Go Data for AI-Powered Navigation Model
Niantic is developing a 'Large Geospatial Model' (LGM) using data from Pokémon Go and other products to enhance spatial intelligence in AI. This model leverages millions of scans from players' smartphones to create high-fidelity 3D maps, enabling computers and robots to better understand and interact with the world. The data, collected from a pedestrian perspective, includes locations inaccessible to cars, offering unique insights for the AI model.
