thing sometimes like here in angry birds they are it already works pretty well. and i get into developers taking it even further but is gaming really cutting edge or just another gimmick our topic unshaved today. don't want to spend a fortune on a virtual reality headset no problem all you need for mental reality is a reason smartphone and a sense of adventure or mental reality is when the real environment is enhanced through computer generated objects according to the u.s. game developer nyan tick that's the team behind goal they are is about to explode they ended just released wizards unite which they say uses state of the art a artic the media hype has been huge and no wonder the target group has all the

harry potter fans around the world and the trailer looks fit for. the game developers have promised play is that they will feel like wizards. in the harry potter world. the name of the game is to find lost magical objects found a bull's. location enabled games a map tells the found and point. is not the couch potatoes expect to walk between 2 and 10 kilometers to get a hold of the important port key. players reach a magical spot. in the real life environment and the object is next generation with the full 360 degree. characters and creatures an artifact. the most they are experience today

the 360 degree view didn't really work when i tried it out but it's not that important for visitor night anyway in theory i could even turn off the ai which would be good for my phone battery because they are it's up a lot of power to be honest i'd rather stay with the original among go the set up is pretty much the same you have to walk and swipe for the mongo is still a huge deal and generates a 1000000 euros per day the makers of wizards unite hoping that their new baby but be just as successful but the boss is a very high. publishers of which it's united released in 2016 of the game was a global hit the app has been downloaded 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 ion motets dinosaurs appear in appliance environment this app is also a huge success it was downloaded as 850-0000 times in may 29. game design professor thomas braman says we're still in the early stages of games and the developers a using smart phone tech and famous characters from popular culture to reach as many new potential game as possible. 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 call lector cots but of many reality off as completely new possibilities to this old concept almost all you were smartphones i quit for a. and there's no need for an extra headset developers help to reach

a lot more people this way and tech giants 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 units 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 the 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 coming. the size of the space is irrelevant it can be the whole world like with ingress one of the 1st games to use g.p.s.

tracking it incorporates landmarks from the real world to create a virtual game world. order space 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. smartphone tech is constantly being developed and this also makes 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 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 for over 2000000000 euros. version of the game is coming soon and it looks seriously cool 2. 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 be exact 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 mark. 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. it's

going straight into microsoft's cloud system and is helping create a super precise 3 d. model of the earth this troubles privacy advocates now microsoft insists that no photos of the gaming environment will end up online only low resolution point calls 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 in 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 for me pictures says 2017 worldwide in pictures 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 users find their way but also makes shopping suggestions. this is how long hotel receipts unite the placement is a little less in your face. 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 multiplayer 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 players 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. we almost used to be that they are always had to have a kind of marker the 2nd generation like pokémon for example recognized 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 that places objects in their regional context in this case an excavation site in aleppo syria uses can move around in the space and exude

the objects bringing the historical site. manager reality is really exciting and better cameras are making it possible manufacturers investing into depth sensis more and more the senses can recognize distance which in turn allows a gradual reality apps to locate their position and pose in a given space smartphones have inadvertently become the dream devices of ai create us because uses don't need to buy any additional equipment to immerse themselves in augmented reality and of course the more people check out ai games the more valuable data developers have access to so it's no wonder that game developers are lashing onto already popular characters of pop culture such as harry potter which brings us back where we started what do you think about augmented reality which games do you like in particular that has no on you tube facebook on the w dot com

all the best for now feel next that. after. i'm secure that the i work that hard and in the end is a me you're not allowed to stay here and more we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers were liars and. what's your story ready ready. i mean when i was a women especially are victims of violence. take part and send us your story we are
