in 2016 the game was a global hit the app has been downloaded over 800000000 times and has over 2000000000 euros and even 3 years after its release continues to be high up in the charts. jurassic world alive has a similar switch on the i am ok it's dinosaurs appear in appliance environment this app is also a huge success it was downloaded over 500000 times in may 29th. game design professor thomas prima says we're still in the early stages of gains and the developers a using smart phone tech and famous characters from popular culture to reach as many new potential game as possible. pokémon or this harry potter game are basically multimedia collector card games the collector card model is very old and

works well and it's now being expanded to include things from real life. good old collector cots but of many reality offers completely new possibilities to this old concept almost all you're smart phones are equipped for a hour and there's no need for an extra headset developers help to reach a lot more people this way and 10. giant school and apple are working around the clock to develop even better software but how does augmented reality work on a smartphone. cameras senses and g.p.s. tracking these elements make smart phones ideal for playing location based games the camera takes in an environment which is then analyzed and processed by an app. for newer smartphones also have special infrared cameras called depth sensors they measure the world basically and thanks to these measurements

a phone can locate exactly where it is in a real life environment. so i can move forward or backward or i can turn around. the size of the space is irrelevant it can be the whole world like with one of the 1st games to use g.p.s. tracking it incorporates landmarks from the real world to create a virtual game world. or despise can be restricted to a book. like this award winning adventure game. here a familiar medium becomes interactive the camera recognizes the pages and allows the reader to decide how the story should continue using expanded reality. it becomes an adventure game depending on what decision the app user makes he or she is forwarded to other pages of the book and experiences the story in a new way. that's not

a smartphone tick is constantly being developed and it's also make such sophisticated game related ideas possible take angry birds for example the game 1st came on the scene 10 years ago but now there's an augmented reality version which adds a whole new level to the gaming principle for example i now have to play is the level i want to play in my environment and can then move around it and she was the perfect spot to launch my attack. microsoft is taking it a step further they bought minecraft the world's most successful computer game in september 24th team for over 2000000000 euros the mobile version of the game is coming soon and it looks seriously cool. you can only play minecraft if you switch on the function then you need to find a free surface to start building your architectural masterpiece this is your

virtual buy supplies because g.p.s. technology is not yet quite sophisticated enough to help design buildings to the exact millimeter microsoft has combined different technologies. one of them is tracking which can help locate free surfaces with the latest functions of smartphones camera can identify feature points the i again in this case the machines can even spill over to beyond the table so to speak. the minecraft tracking combines with mapping so that single objects can be identified the system can recognize a table and. then a complex 3 d. point cloud is created and uploaded to an open source cloud system the app uses the information to find its way in the real world and all gamers are able to see the objects in this. game

most can work together to create architectural masterpieces but at the same time they're also in directly working for microsoft for free it's no secret that microsoft google and call collect as much location data as they can through my phone so long as i don't opt out the data collected from minecraft earth is going straight into microsoft's cloud system and is helping create a super precise 3 d. model of the earth this trouble's privacy advocates now microsoft insists that no photos of the gaming environment will end up online only low resolution point but what about if i play minecraft at home will my apartment then be scanned and uploaded as a point klout. what's clear is that and they are kompany money from personal data as well but that's not their only source of revenue. companies that make free to play games such as my 10 o'clock she forever plenty of money from pictures since

2017 worldwide pitches revenues reached incredible 33. players don't have to find anything but then they will have to be more patient. there's a system of time mechanisms. if i don't want to wait to carry on playing then i have to buy gold or diamonds etc so that i can start playing again faster. and of course there is the time. reality google maps not only helps uses find their way but also makes shopping suggestions. this is how long hotel appeal is unite the placement is a little less in your face. if you can sell a location so to speak. the company will say if you give us money we'll put something great in front of your business so that many users will go there are no more likely to stop by it's

a classic advertising trick which doesn't seem like advertising the. one thing i'm especially excited about the play our games but the necessary tech isn't quite there yet the problem usually is lacking bandwidth rate because there can't be any leg between different devices play as are using otherwise my opponent won't know that i just got it. this works better for fast 5 g. networks but this new mobile network stand that is not yet widespread hopefully we won't have to wait too long for 5 d. and in the meantime steadily improving for instance when it comes to tracking and locating position and polls orientation. it used to be that they are always had to have a kind of marker this 2nd generation like pokémon for example recognize the ground and could say our position something there. but this new generation can recognize 3

dimensional objects and move around or enhance them you have these. colleges developed an app to places objects in their regional context in this case an excavation site in aleppo syria uses can move around and observe the objects bringing the historical site. mobile augmented reality is really exciting and better cameras are making it possible manufacturers investing into depth sensors more and more the senses can recognize distance which in turn allows a mad reality apps to locate their position and pose in a given space smartphones have inadvertently become the dream devices of ai create us because users don't need to buy any additional equipment to immerse themselves in augmented reality and of course the more people check out the more valuable data developers have access to so it's no wonder that game developers are lashing onto
