My Mobile|September 2016

There was a time when Augmented Reality (AR), which showed digital images in the real world, was the hottest thing on the tech scene. however, the period that followed saw it being overshadowed by Virtual Reality (VR)  and other technologies. However, it now has made a return with the success of Pokemon go! but is this the beginning of a new AR era? 

Driven By Pokemon Go, Augmented Reality Is Back!

Some people may think that smartphones have already reached a level of saturation and therefore there is no scope of innovation left. While others on the developer side feel that a mobile game like Pokemon Go could change the course of technology. but Pokemon Go is more than a mobile game. It became one of the most successful mobile apps ever and has been praised for bringing back augmented reality to the mainstream. Ar may sound like a futuristic concept, but the technology has been around for years. Pokemon Go is only the latest and most successful use of the technology. pick up your smartphone, load the mobile app, and start hunting and catching Pokemons. the augmented-reality game uses your smartphone’s camera and satellite location to create a more immersive experience. the success of Pokemon Go means that available selection of augmented reality apps and games is likely to go up in the near future. What’s more, the use case scenarios of the technology are also set to increase, going beyond gaming. so do we stand at the cusp of a new Ar era?
