Pokemon Go: Augmented Reality (AR) Game For Your Smart Phone
To Be The Very Best: Pokémon Enters Into Augmented Reality
Gabriel Rosenberg ![]() Halfway through your walk to school, a wild Charmander appears. Just a few throws of a Pokéball, and it could be yours. Will you stop to catch it? Nintendo is betting you will. Not just that, they're betting that you've waited most of your life to see a Pokémon in the real world. Pokémon Go — the upcoming iOS and Android app from Nintendo, The Pokémon Co., and developer Niantic Labs — promises to let anyone with a smart phone "find" and train the diverse creatures of Pokémon all around them. For aspiring Trainers, it could be an entirely new way to interact with a now 20-year-old franchise. For these companies, though, Pokémon Go — which launches for free sometime in July — offers the biggest opportunity yet to bring augmented reality into the mainstream, a chance to prove not only that AR technology is ready for people, but that people are ready for AR. http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechc...-the-very-best I thought it was an interesting idea, AR rather than VR. I've seen lots of apps that kind of do this already-mostly playing with pictures to add makeup or special effects. I'm not fond of the Pokemon craze but a Google Maps type of integration and ( I assume) a way of monetizing the app by opening it up to sponsored locations sounds intriguing. |

Depends on their age and what they're into.

I do. Your one child doesn't equate to the majority of children his age so your little story about him was just "hey look at how smart and imaginative my kid is!" and contributed nothing to the discussion.

My four children aged (this year) from 19 to 32 have taught me quite a bit about raising kids. So did my 15 years of activity in the Boy Scouts (leader and assistant leader) and my 6 years of experience in the Girl Scouts. As well as the hundreds and hundreds of hours I spent volunteering at various public schools. My example is just one of many I could give you involving my children and the children of others that directly contradict your meaningless generalizations. You don't know what you are talking about here and it's obvious. You are making yourself look foolish.

The Russians are working on their own app using historical figures.

Could be. I haven't looked deeply into it. I wonder if you can catch Anastasia-mon. |
