3 Results and Discussion


• The reach of the augmented reality game could be witnessed by merely looking
around in public - players could be seen walking, detached from everything around
them, staring down at their smartphones as if it contained another dimension they had
temporarily escaped into.

• Gaming at its core is and has always been about transporting oneself into another
world, another reality, by leaving one’s own self behind and stepping into the shoes of
another (mostly fictional) character.

• AR in gaming allows us to virtually leave our lives and instead live as the characters
we chose inside the game.

• However, unfortunately in this case, the biggest Augmented reality Technology,


which is its completely immersive nature, also happens to be its greatest peril.

• Besides the massive addiction upscale that it caused, to an extent that people started
quitting their day jobs to have time to play the game, the outdoor nature of the game
has caused thousands of accidents.

• Location based Augmented reality gaming requires players to be at outdoor locations


for the game to render the reality they see into the Pokémon World.

4 Conclusion
It remains undeniable that the immersive nature of Augmented Reality technology combined
with modern gaming threatens to blur the lines between what is real and what is artificial. While
we cannot stop technology from advancing because of fear, it is important to make informed
decisions regarding products that are certain to achieve mass public consumption.
