How Pokemon Go and augmented reality are transforming how we’ll navigate the world w/ Niantic's Brian McClendon

Whether you’re trying to find your way around a new city or just looking for a place to eat, it’s become second nature to many people to turn to Google Maps to get us from point A to point B. On the last episode of this season of The TED AI Show, we’re chatting with Keyhole (now known as Google Earth) founder and current Niantic SVP of Engineering Brian McClendon. Brian and Bilawal discuss how even the most detailed digital maps have blind spots, how Pokemon Go could be an unlikely partner to fill in the blanks – and how augmented reality is making the future of navigation immersive. In the second half of the show, Bilawal recaps some of the big learnings from the first season of this show, and teases a big update about season 2.
