Those running Apple’s latest mobile operating system, iOS 9, will be able to search within their apps using Google search. “This update includes a major overhaul of the sensor fusion algorithms that integrate signals from the gyroscope and accelerometer”, the company said in its post in the developers blog. “These improvements substantially decrease drift, especially on phones with lower-quality sensors”.

Users can now immersively explore most anywhere in the world simply by sliding on a Cardboard-compatible headset.
