These first ever research monographs on augmented reality games have been written by a team of 70 leading researchers, practitioners and artists from 20 countries. In Volume I, the phenomenon of the Pokémon GO game is analysed in theoretical, cultural and conceptual contexts, with emphasis on its nature and the educational use of the game in children and adolescents. Game transfer phenomena, motives for playing Pokémon GO, players’ experiences and memorable moments, social interaction, long-term engagement, health implications and many other issues raised by the Pokémon GO game are systematically examined and discussed. Augmented Reality Games I is essential reading not only for researchers, practitioners, game developers and artists, but also for students (graduates and undergraduates) and all those interested in the rapidly developing area of augmented reality games.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Communications - Multimedia, Internet, New Technologies, grade: 2,7, University of Dortmund, language: English, abstract: In 2016 when Pokémon Go was released, the hype around collecting Pokémon once again increased immensely and a lot of new players started to become interested in the world of Pokémon. This is owed to various features of the game. In the following, the reasons for the game’s success should be found out. To do so, the franchise history of Pokémon and the game Pokémon Go itself will be described, before focussing on space-time in games. Afterwards, criteria for successful pervasive gaming and augmented reality will be compared to Pokémon Go until cultural and social aspects will be included as well with special attention to hype. Lastly, the most important findings will be summarized in the conclusion. Gaming is undisputedly one of the most liked free time activities. That is why the gaming industry is booming and constantly working on new games. Even though there are new games being released every year, some managed to stay successful over decades. Especially the Pokémon franchise is indispensable for the gaming community. For over 20 years the franchise is one of the most successful ones. For a lot of players, this series of games accompanied them since their childhood.

This book was released on 2016-08-07 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pokemon Go has in a matter of weeks become an internet phenomenon. It made $14 million for its creators since launch, and it's breaking all sorts of records and topping download charts. But why? What is it? How can you get it? Here's the lowdown on everything you need to know about Nintendo and The Pokemon Company's latest smash hit. What's In This Ultimate Pokemon Go Guide? This is a comprehensive guide for Pokemon Go. All of a sudden it's like we've travelled back in time to the mid 1990s. Everybody has Pokemon fever again, and people are quite literally out on the streets catching Pokemon, which is something of a bizarre thing to think about. Topics covered in this guide include... * How to earn XP, level up, join gym teams and more * Getting started and catching Pokemon * Levelling up your trainer and Pokemon * Gyms, Teams and Pokemon battles * Advanced tips and tricks for catching Pokemon * Hatching eggs and finding out which Pokemon are inside * Rewards, XP and unlockable items for every level * How to find rare and legendary Pokemon * Using Incense correctly to catch Pokemon * How to easily tell if there's a problem with the Pokemon server and much more! What's The Craze All About? To break it down to its simplest description, Pokemon Go uses your mobile phone's satellite GPS systems and built-in clock to figure out where and when you are when the game is open. When you've got the game open, the game then populates the world around you with Pokemon. You end up looking at the world through your phone's screen and camera, and Pokemon are dropped onto the top of the real world in a semi-convincing way - this is augmented reality. What happens then is much like the rest of the Pokemon games - you can catch various creatures and do battle with others, training Pokemon and working to 'catch them all' as well as build your strength in battle. The gimmick is that thanks to the GPS and augmented reality, the Pokemon available to you change based on your real-world location and the time of day, so players are encouraged to move around. Real-world locations are even marked as PokeStops and Pokemon Gyms, meaning you have to travel to them if you want the benefits of those locations. It's pretty cool stuff.
