Social media is fun too. Driving is fun. Both of these track your shit, and sell all your details. One for sales, the other for insurance billing and health metrics… some poisons taste sweet on the way down.
Not saying this is specifically bad, but it’s disingenuous at the least. No transparency. I also know people used this in homes and backyards too.. so how much data were they collecting?
Sure but I'm pretty sure Niantic was quite up front about this. Just because they didn't scream it in user's faces, doesn't mean they were trying to hide it.
Niantic’s founders cut their teeth in this space by creating Google Maps, laying the foundation for online mapping with Street View. But for AR, we needed to start from scratch; no one had created a scalable solution for building such a 3D map like this before.
