Pokemon Go Was 2016, Now Get Ready For OVR
You are now probably familiar with Pokemon Go and augmented reality.
Just two short years ago, practically no one had heard of “augmented reality.” Then Pokémon Go exploded on the scene, and AR gaming took off.
Pokemon Go revolutionized mobile gaming with the innovative use of augmented reality (AR).
Who knew catching a Charmander or Squirtle could encourage over 550 million people to download an app and become obsessed with collecting adorable pocket monsters.
Pokemon Go was the first mainstream use for augmented reality, where digital information is superimposed over the top of a real-world readout.
The craze has now subsided apart from among a few hardcore fans but its impact elsewhere could be more lasting.
It is clear that AR is mostly associated with gaming but there is a huge potential in new and engaging experiences and content, as yet untouched. We at OVR, aware of the opportunities, have taken this concept further and transferred it on to the blockchain.
Pokemon Go brought augmented reality to a mass audience but OVR will put it in front of new ones, breaking through from a niche toy for early adopters to something much bigger.
