In July 2016 Pokémon goes to Augmented Reality (AR) on the map. In 33 days after the launch of the game on AR downloaded 100 million of times. Do not break during the next month Pokemon five Guinness World Records , sales including through a mobile phone - get game in the first month - game in the first month and the most downloaded mobile phone.
In September of the same year, the number of players who paid reduced by 79% .
Niantic, creator of Pokemon Go and Ingress (AR Pokémon Go the original - was built game on), now plans to create Harry Potter - play on the AR - subject to the same concept. Expectations are high for the game, entitled Harry Potter: The Wizards Unite. But he will suffer the same fate as Pokemon Niantic Go if you can not find a way to combine properly in the AR game experience.
He has discharged not only on the AR in a Pokémon Go autonomy of the battery, but not necessary to work the game. In fact, the game slows down and creates technical problems and errors that sometimes make it impossible to play the game. AR feature allows the player a Pokémon in the real world seen through the camera function of their phone. However, this feature has encountered several problems , including the camera not Pokemon not displayed correctly or the camera does not bind to the game correctly. For this reason, many Pokémon have - Fans played without AR GB, and those who have played for rheumatoid arthritis completely stopped.
In my own research on augmented reality and the use of virtual reality in training, which usually present my work "like Pokemon Go." This is almost immediately recognized by all participants, regardless of age. I can be more successful and my fellow researchers leading this research to promote directly Pokémon Go students, teachers and researchers confirm the attractiveness of work AR. A fantastic world day overlaid to see. This experience is what originally millions of Pokémon Go and play the following the creation and flat promote - AR forms of work and experience, educational or other reasons.
Harry Potter franchise has generated more than $ 25 billion in the last 20 years, which is about the same amount of time, which was around Pokemon. the creation of JK Rowling has achieved success around the world through economic and social lines. His books have been published; Harry Potter and child Cursed, a scenario of a game, was the Book of the biggest hit of 2016 ; and many schools and universities, including my own, have competitive Quidditch leagues.
It is inevitable that the combination of the technology behind Pokémon Go Harry Potter and the universe will generate millions of dollars. However, lightning has struck again. AR without an integrated experience for the players, a series of Harry Potter is a first edition similar goes like Pokémon, but suffers from the same dropout - rate that will not be bound players.
To avoid this, Niantic has integrated into their next game basic AR. Players must be able to enter more fully interact and described more common with the creatures in the Harry Potter universe. Instead of controlling only the creatures that player spells, monsters, other players, and even existing areas can affect. In addition, players can customize their 3D environment, a capability that is now possible with the latest mobile phones and create permanent locations visible to others that are similar to Hogwarts. New platforms such as Apple Arkit, users can create their own 3D models and project them in the real world should make this task easier than two years ago.
Greater integration with Harry Potter fans with what they desire, a fantasy world where you can play an active and creative role. And it could help Niantic next game, which was his previous successes shortly.
