Technology Pokemon Go: Name: Nicole Espinosa

Pokémon GO is a free mobile game developed by Niantic that uses augmented reality and GPS location data. The game allows players to capture, train, and battle virtual Pokémon that appear on their phone screens as if they are in the real world. To play, users navigate around on a map within the app to find and catch Pokémon in nearby real-world locations like parks and streets. While the game provides an engaging augmented reality experience, some users report difficulty accurately seeing and catching Pokémon due to limitations of integrating virtual elements with the real environment.

TECHNOLOGY

POKEMON GO
NAME: NICOLE ESPINOSA

The application makes it appear


that the Pokemon are right in
front of you if you use your
camera phone to take photos.
This has resulted in some very
funny images broadcast on social
networks.
But it also seems that the
augmented reality feature can
make it harder to hit the
Pokemon.

Pokmon GO is a free application


for iOS and Android developed by
Niantic in collaboration with
Nintendo and The Pokmon
Company. This makes use
augmented reality (using the
device camera) and geolocation
(via GPS) for players to find
Pokmon in the real world map
and can capture on their devices.
Similarly allows Pokmon breeding
and fighting for areas control.
Its official launch was done in
stages, starting on July 6, 2016. So
far it is available in the App Store
and Play Store

HOW DO YOU TO PLAY?


The application displays your avatar
on a map with streets and other
geographical indicators, such as
rivers and parks. It's like a simplified
version Google Maps, with a nice sky
above. You can see in all directions
moving your character.
But trouble getting used to, the
streets havent names, so it is
difficult to know where to walk until
you start moving (there is a compass
pointing north, if that is helpful).
