According to the report, Map View was previously created as a 2D model that worked for homes where the floor plan was provided. The new updated 3D Map View takes advantage of Spatial AI in Samsung devices, such as the Bespoke Jet Bot™ using LiDAR1 sensors in the device to precisely measure and map a home’s layout. Users can now easily understand the shape and spatial conditions of their homes on 3D maps.

Map View addresses the challenge of controlling the growing number of connected devices in every home worldwide. It made smart home management easier by removing the need to find each device separately before using it. It shows users their entire home at a glance and updates in real time as more devices are connected.
