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. |

Decided to go on a walk, and the servers go down/get glitchy. Perfect

You think that isn't already the case? You're naive.

I was walking my two dogs yesterday in the park and there were all these weirdos walking around looking at their phones.

You typed this while in your casket? Why do you care? But seriously it's too freaking hot here in FL to go out searching. They should've released this in the Fall or Spring. SMH. |

Not really. Some are much worse than others. Some apps like Facebook Messenger and Pokemon Go have considerably more access than other apps. Plus the way they go about their access is really shoddy and needs fixing.
