We discovered a library that uses Google Street View

March 08, 2026


We’ve been playing with computer vision — and found something amazing.


A library that compares your camera view with Google Street View panoramas.


If it finds a match, it can tell exactly where you are — without GPS!

This opens up some wild new ideas:

  • Trigger AR events only at precise physical locations
  • Precise real-world anchoring in urban environments
  • “Guess the location” gameplay based on live camera input

It’s like geo-positioning… by sight.
