Apple Maps: Immersive AR walking directions are about to get more accurate
Apple is collecting data to enhance the accuracy of location services in its Maps app, specifically for AR features. The data collected includes "feature points" of stationary objects like buildings, but does not contain photos or images. Apple uses on-device machine learning to compare these feature points with Apple Maps reference data, thereby improving AR accuracy. The data is encrypted and not linked to individual users or Apple IDs. Users can opt out of this data collection via the "Improve AR Location Accuracy" toggle in the Settings app.

FitXR introduces mixed reality workout on Meta Quest 3
FitXR has unveiled its first Mixed Reality studio, Slam, which offers a gamified High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) experience on Meta Quest 3. Unlike previous FitXR offerings, Slam is an active game that adapts to the user's environment. The game has two modes: Timed Mode, where users hit as many cues as possible within a set time, and Survival Mode, a progressively more intense game where users have limited time and life. The game is designed for a 10ft x 10ft room and can be played with or without controllers. Slam is currently in beta, and FitXR is seeking user feedback for continuous improvement.
