AR in gaming

Released in 2016, Pokémon Go was the game that popularized AR gaming. By placing virtual creatures into real-world environments, Pokémon Go brought the fantasy of Pokémon living among us to life. The game uses the player's location to display Pokémon on their phone screens, encouraging exploration of the real world. Whether catching a Pokémon on the way to work or during a stroll in the park, the game blends digital and physical spaces seamlessly.

Other games, like Ingress Prime and Jurassic World Alive, use similar mechanics, blending the virtual and real worlds. Games like Kings of Pool offer a different experience, turning traditional board games into AR environments by superimposing digital elements onto flat surfaces like tables.
