Niantic presents the new Augmented Reality features that will appear in the game from this year 2020.
Niantic continues to work on expanding the playable options for Pokémon GO. The title, which will be four years with us this summer, will have two new functions coming soon: Integrate Reality and PokéStop Scanning. Let's know everything we know at the moment of these news.
Integrate reality into Pokémon GO
On the one hand, Niantic anticipates that they are working on a new way of being accompanied by our partner Pokémon through augmented reality. The Samsung Galaxy S9, Galaxy S10 and Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 4 devices have been chosen to start testing a smarter version of the feature we already knew, more realistic. How? causing elements such as trees to be superimposed on the figure of the Pokémon if they are in front. "With Integrate reality, the Pokémon can be placed behind the objects partially or completely hidden," they said in the statement. We will see, therefore, the Pokémon peeking from behind any object that is in front, such as a bookshelf, the sofa or a bench if we are on the street.
Although initially only the function will be included in these four models of the Android operating system, soon it will be incorporated in more devices until reaching the totality that is compatible with this feature.
What is the PokéStop Scan
In order to develop a more complete 3D map, Niantic is also working to make the identification of Gyms and Poképaradas more dynamic. In order for the community to help this improvement through the game, the developer has reported that it will make available to Trainers a new subscription feature called PokéStop Scan; Available to Level 40 Trainers in early June. Later in other levels.
"This is an adaptation of the function launched in Ingress that will allow Trainers to upload videos of locations of Poképaradas and Gyms in real life to Pokémon GO, which will help us in this mapping mission," they indicate. When we participate "you will be asked to record a video (30 seconds maximum) of the actual location of a PokéStop or Gym from as many angles as possible".
Everyone will participate in order to offer a dynamic 3D vision of each Pokémon PokéStop and Gym. In this way, 3D maps of the scanned PokéStops will be created shortly, which will be applied automatically to, for example, blur recognizable objects when we go to fight.
