The first application for all audiences of augmented reality triumphed, was Ingress, developed by Niantic. Ingress transforms the real world on the stage of a global game of mystery, intrigue and competition. In this game you must choose one of the two available banks: scientists or illuminated. Despite the success you had when it came to the market, especially on the Android platform, with more than 10 million downloads, has been far from Pokémon GO, new game from the same developer who already earn more than 50 million downloads only Play Store. It seems that Niantic has given the key of the virtual reality games and seems to have aroused the interest of some technology companies such as Apple.
Microsoft already has a while working on his project of augmented reality Hololens, like Google, but it seems that the Cupertino-based company has not had moved tab in this regard, something that doesn’t surprise us, since a while now it seems that Apple only has eyes for the iPhone leaving aside any other project that can distract you. Without going any further, since quite a few months ago, the Mac range has not received any update important, a fact that caused that sales are down 11% in this last quarter versus the same period of the previous year.
As we have read in Android Authority, Tim Cook has confirmed the company’s interest for this type of technology at the end of the Conference in which last night presented the financial results and in which they saw as the iPhone is still in free fall. Cook said that big changes lie ahead for users that will be associated with the virtual and augmented reality. Tim Cook always has been a closed envelope when it comes to reveal any project you are working on and in this case, enough said on the matter.
