New hardware, new software, new AR experiences.

during Qualcomm’s presentation. The new headset can be seen in use alongside older headset designs in Niantic’s new trailer. Qualcomm says other manufacturers looking to use the chip include Lenovo, LG, Nreal, Oppo, TCL, and Xiaomi.

Finally there’s the news that Niantic’s Lightship Visual Positioning System , its software platform that forms the basis of its worldwide augmented reality titles like Pokémon Go, will be integrating with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Spaces VR and AR developer platform from next year. Lightship VPS is what allows virtual items in Niantic’s games to be placed by one player, and remain persistent for another player to encounter.

It’s now been over six years since Niantic’s Pokémon Go took the world by storm, but despite releasing lots of flashy tech demos, none of its other titles have managed to have the same impact. Hopefully sleeker AR glasses could help recapture some of that magic if these designs actually make it into consumer-focused devices.

Pretty laggy

AR is like, “oh that’s cool!… ok, I’m bored.”

Second image on the right, is that a neck strap? Chin strap? Lol

I can see ppl walking into traffic 😆

What will this AR feature

In recession with highest criminal level ever?:)) this nice people farming pokemons will be targeted... All this shit working only on growing economy..

AR will be a common product for daily life use, compared to VR where you can only wear it at home and escape into a virtual world, AR is a much better bet.

Really excited to see where this goes, I feel a lot of people are sleeping on AR for gaming as most of the focus seems to be on VR! Exciting times ahead!

… until someone walks into traffic…
