I remember still working on my walks in July last year, sweep the streets of my neighborhood and Caterpies Pidgies. Looking around, phone in hand like a tricorder pocket.
July course each resigned as: Starbucks, in Central Park, in zoos. It was a quirk. It is also a harbinger of what might happen in the mobile reality, and increases follow.
Augmented Reality is the slogan of 2017 VR had to have his hand in 2016. Every major technology companies seem it, from Google to Microsoft to Facebook, and more recently - and perhaps most impressive - apple. This fall, many iPhone handheld devices AR unserious are skilled, capable in reality to start 3D objects through the lens of the small phone screen. Forget the headset for today: its social and community and mobile AR.
As a Pokémon Go.
The first time that most people forget to do it with a phone.
Niantic labsSo people now think AR
One could argue that Pokémon Go is not a pure example of augmented reality ... and I would say, of course, it is. AR includes layer information in the real world.
In addition, whatever. Most people still do not know what's reality is amplified anyway. But they know what they are Pokemon.
In addition, Pokémon Go also does many things in rheumatoid arthritis. It is a pure representation of what information may feel global map layers like in the future, the past, use of Niantic, Ingress . Ingress was the true beginning of the Augmented Reality Social Mobile, but Pokémon go to these ideas and made it mainstream with recognizable characters. Pokémon Go does not always put something perfectly and smoothly in the real world, but who cares? to see a Squirtle with its door, is good enough for most people, especially if it is almost free.
The increase in augmented reality means a jump in applications try to put things in the real world. Keeping track of them and organize them will be a challenge. But Pokémon Go at least shows that the forms of AR massive viral and massively social.
I gave Pokémon go on after a few months. For me it was one season. And even if the number of players was reduced only tens of millions , it has the most are recognizable to explain what someone who does not know or does not care how the reality. It is a clear example of this, as opposed to all AR application that came before. Therefore, you should be able to expect much "Pokemon meets X ', or things versions called" Pokemon AR GB . "
AR Future the hands of Google. While Apple.
James Martin / CNETAnd depending on your financial success, it is also a model. According to the CEO of Niantic John Hanke, Pokémon Go has 65 million of users per month in April and estimates suggest that billions raked more. By comparison, the largest housing - the form of virtual reality, Samsung Gear VR has sold about 5 million headsets, many talented free with their Galaxy - smartphones.
Mid-2016, when people get used to the idea of virtual reality helmets began giant on the head, Pokemon Go took a sharp left turn. Cell-based games seemed a proposal quite different. Things like this (including income or even older ARG exist or geocaching), but do not go on the scale Pokémon. And compared to the great wave of Virtual - impressive platforms, but the incredibly isolation in 2016, it was massive Pokémon Go social - Reality.
Augmented reality, especially when the hand with a phone, not a deep dive as a virtual reality device. but it is much more common. AR explore best future concepts of what it means to be social: Room of the class with the sticks car photos (like Google Tango), or by common lenses as Snapchat . Or maybe in social worlds geomapped like Pokemon GB. It is the best model I've seen for a common phone experience.
Its been in contact with my son for a walk in the zoo and look for Pokemon, or with his cousin on a summer weekend they play personal moments. Talking to random people in the cafes of the creatures had wandered a few minutes. Everyone watched her cell phone, but each also play together. Parts along a virtual world.
VR is not a single application that does the same.
It was not AR, who was about to be social.
Sean Hollister / CNETHe also appeared Pokemon AR
Sure, Pokemon was not the first AR app. And maybe Snapchat could be the forerunner of the mainstream of AR, armed considered his Funhouse face strangely good filter. But the reality is the vision that Snapchat that changes most of the time, inwardly through the camera forward. It is a mirror of self-reflection. Pokémon Go to look outside, and thus be extended applications.
But take a look at these conditions. Virtual reality, augmented reality. For most people, Pokemon was to go out and have fun with your mobile phone. It was fun, and played a lot of people also use the stop mode AR.
Apple next box with tools of augmented reality for iPhone and iPad can be all sorts of tricks and realistic visual effects, so that objects appear as if they are in the real world in a way float that Pokémon Go could not handle, but the millions and but millions of people themselves. What applications will emerge? Design of interior , perhaps. 3D - painting tools . Many realistic cost monsters and flying things. Oh, and look better Pokemon .
begin to make your own killer apps for RA fight as an application developer, but they will be referred to all Pokémon Go. Not necessarily, because it was the best use of AR, but it was used for World App. pure viral force makes the stone universal key and the latest example of the success.
Who would not want a piece of this?
