Go Pokemon is a game obsessively way to get the amount of traffic were blocked, parks were trampled in the mud, has collide into a real nuisance raid and the people keep their cars. But VR is certainly the biggest problem.
Pokemon Go is an augmented reality application, as opposed to a virtual reality and one that is a CEO John Hanke Niantic distinction very clear.
At the London Games Festival this week, as reported GamesIndustry.biz , Hanke said an AR - application like Pokémon Go can have a positive social impact, but it is concerned about VR can not be otherwise.
"My thing about VR that I fear it may be good, in the sense that an experience that people want to spend a huge amount of time," he said.
Board and concerns about how their children play Minecraft as "wonderful," as it is, and stay in a virtual reality device is unhealthy.
"We are people and there are a lot of research that shows that we are actually much happier if we train when we go out - and in nature, in particular," he said.
"I think it's a problem for us, as a society, if we give up and spend all their time in a camper-style world player ready. "
AR - games like Pokemon Go, on the other hand, encourage players to go out and explore their surroundings - they have immediate benefits for health and practice social potential, as well.
"With AR, there are many ways to do things you really have a positive impact on people. It research on the health effects of Pokémon Go in particular, but can be expanded to promote all of the games AR "he said.
"These games can encourage people to be active than they normally would. As a parent, is part of my motivation for building this type of game to try to get my kids out of the house. I think there is much good you can do. "
It probably means that we will never see a game Pokemon VR Niantic, although that would be great .
Hanke is certainly a good case for RA, but I think, forget, VR has to affect a huge potential for good people's well-being, too. There is a clear potential for a significant interaction with distant friends and relatives, the latest technology - communications, as in this allows Kotaku article about distance relationships.
You can also open new experience for those who can access place for a reason not the meat or other like Rift Arcade has met reported in this moving story of an elderly woman, her last wish. You - you seen video Dad of a boy crying the joy that his wish, the whole life of the room to see is "real"?
Anyway, yes, if you your driver's physical and mental health, do not sit to interact inside all day with real people, although AR, PR and bog-standard games are phenomenal. If it is necessary.
