Nintendo is doing to AR what it did to motion controls. Pokémon go is introducing it to the casuals.

They're (casuals) eating it up too.
Nintendo isn't responsible for the way they (users) behave. They'll be blamed for it though.

Gwiz2842d ago

AR went viral and it wasnt because of them.

GO is addicting as fuck, skipped taking the bus home just so i can catch pokemon...

These comments are exactly the point of the article. Pokemon Go is not AR. Like not in any way. The Pokemon don't react contextually to the environment. The poke balls don't bounce off your surroundings. This is simply characters rendered with no environments on top of the image the phones capturing. Since you need to turn in 3D space people think it's AR. Perhaps this is the baby step the general public needs to understand a concept like AR.

AR is any digital image overlaid on an image of reality.

Man, that crap blew up in your face. Good try though.

Edit: Sorry if that came off as condescending.

AR's reputation was never that prolific to begin with. Go shows what AR can do. Ar isn't going to get significantly better in terms of what it offers more than you'd see in Poke-Go. Maybe some more advanced stuff can be shown as tech gets better, and eventually it can transform entire environments(like Halolens can do for instance), but for now, this is it.

If Poki-Go is ruining it's reputation, then AR just isn't going to stand on it's own to begin with. For the most part, all you really have is some sort of thing put on top of the real world, and how one interacts with that will vary, but the core concept is the same across the board.

Maybe it's people who don't understand the difference between an immersive technology and general game design who are ruining the reputation of AR....because it seems they don't actually differentiate the two.

AR reacting to the environment is not an AR principal, it's an AI principal that is developed through the concept of the game design.

Some AR will be fun, others won't. It's the same with any game. But for the most part, what you see, is what we will get.

I know what they mean but for the vast majority of people AR doesn't even have a "reputation" because most people don't even know what it is. PG made it news even for non-gamers and non-VR enthusiasts.

Peripheral Maker Leaks Nintendo Switch 2 Info; States Backwards Compatibility for Games & More

Chinese gaming peripheral maker Mobapad has outed Nintendo Switch 2 info "through our partnership with Nintendo's supply chain."

Profchaos2h ago

Interesting I like what I've read so far.

Full backwards compatibility with games carts and digital, comparability with pro controller and joy cons (they can't be docked though)

So basically my investments in switch one games and hardware seems to be respected

Isn't any better or worse than any other shoe. Most of them are made in sweat shops no matter what logo they have

Ironmike1d ago

Playstation should have went with nike

JackBNimble14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

I'd be embarrassed wearing any clothing with a console sponsored brand unless is was 12 years old.

It ain't real until LeBron tells us what this shoe means to his career.

Puma the unofficial sneakers for the NYC Breakers from the movie Beat Street (1984)

Abnor_Mal7h ago

Those were the suede ones like the burgundy ones with the fat shoe laces. If you were really nice you had the checker board laces done up. A pair of Lee or Guess jeans a BVD nylon T-shirt. Rocking some Gazelles and Kangol cap preferable the beaver fur.
