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. |

Walked quite a bit with my daughter today collecting. Pretty fun for both of us. Apparently it's only cool after level 5 though.
Getting anew phone in a month, hopefully the account will transfer over, or my daughter may commit pokemurder. Also, for having never liked Pokemon befor, she talked her grandma into taking her to build a bear and getting a character... Day one. Grandma is a sucker. |

Wow, game still will not work for me at all. I get the Niantic splash screen. Then a screen with the Pokemon logo on it that has me enter my birth date. I enter the date, then it takes me to a log in screen with a Google option or a Trainer Club option. I don't have a Trainer Club account and they are impossible to create now. So I pick Google. The phone has me select which Google account I want to sign in on, I do it. Black screen, back to Niantic splash screen to repeat the process infinitely.
