Niantic CEO Shares A Look At Potential AR Glasses

This is gonna be amazing, because one day, people will be wandering the streets staring at Pokemon that we can't see without those glasses. It will thoroughly confuse the general public, which will be thrilling. I literally cannot wait for this day.

NINJA APPROVED

LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU IT'S A CHARIZARD

All good until we see the price...that's gonna drop us back into covid reality

If Minecraft earth launched with something like this I bet they wouldn't have had to close it down, because you'd actually see the structures instead of looking through a screen. At least I think so.

@BloodNinja LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU THERE IS A GANGAR! (oh god I knew this abandoned insane asylum was haunted, but I didn't know it was THIS haunted... so many ghost... Pokemon.)

Sees a Bayonette appear out of no where and try to scare the living ***** out of me

@EriXz I had covid for 2 months, solid. Felt real enough to me.

@Natsura LOL Very funny.

Hey, uh, why is Mario stomping on your head?

I would buy them. I love AR tech. HoloLens is great. I also really enjoyed the AR games on the 3DS; even got the giant AR Question Block card from Club Nintendo so I could transform my living room floor.

@BloodNinja I guess he wants these shrooms I found in the kitchen of this abandoned insane asylum

I also had this thought... a Luigi's Mansion style game would be a interesting fit for these goggles.

@Natsura Hahhahaha

can't wait for server to be overloaded

Wait, @ThomasBW84 is back? This makes me so freaking happy! (Didn’t visit this site for a couple days so I missed the announcement.)

Not this crap again. 🤦‍♀️

@BloodNinja glad to know you're doing well

@EriXz Thank you!

They sound like a cool idea in theory but very few people actually bother with the camera AR on Pokémon Go.

Pokémon GO won't even open on my phone anymore.

Note to Niantic: Software updates should IMPROVE performance; not render the software unusable.

I am just laughing at the thought of people out there walking around with virtual reality all over the place

I just want something affordable and simple like AR glasses that simulate large screen televisions which one company is already doing although its a bit pricey, also provided its safe for your eyes.

I like the idea of AR glasses helping allievate limited screen space for co-op as well.

Why do I get the feeling AR is being held back from more commercial purposes by the powers that be that insist we need a 60 inch TV on our walls.

We're still the better part of a decade away from true AR, but Smart glasses are going to be fun to watch over the next few years. Smart Watches like the Oneplus Watch are finally starting to become more than just a novelty and Smart glasses will follow a similar uphill battle.

One step closer to The OASIS.

Sigh...

Anybody remember Google Glass and where that went?

And when you put them on it will just be like Altered Carbon where you have to install an ad-blocker
