Augmented Reality is a technology that gives you the ability to experience digital content in the real world. With AR, your smartphone’s camera can provide an interactive surface for games, videos, and even educational experiences. Here are some of our favorite new augmented reality games on Android!
Pokémon GO
Pokemon GO is an augmented reality game developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. The game was released in most regions of the world in July 2016. In the game, players use a mobile device’s GPS capability to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokemon, who appear on the screen as if they were in the real world. The game supports in-app purchases for additional in-game items.
As any Pokémon fan knows, there is more to the world of Pokémon than just catching them all. Trainers across the globe are discovering new Pokémon as they explore the world around them, and Pokémon GO is the perfect way to join in on the fun. The global gaming sensation has been downloaded over 1 billion times, and it allows Trainers to catch Pokémon in the real world.
In addition to catching Pokémon, Trainers can also complete their Pokédex, journey with their Buddy Pokémon, compete in Gym battles, and team up with other Trainers to catch rare Pokémon.
