    Using computer vision and deep learning we are able to develop techniques to understand 3D space enabling much more realistic AR interactions than are currently possible. Check out the following AR occlusion video to see just how we're doing that. #NianticAR

    Using a smartphone paired with unique directional open-ear headphones, attendees were able to use directional audio to vector in on nearby Pokémon cries and eventually to capture them, all without relying on a visual guide. [2/2]

    Through our Mori Garden exhibit at Innovation Tokyo 2018, we demonstrated how augmented audio reality can alter one’s perception of public space. In this exhibit, we invited attendees to wander through a Japanese garden, searching for elusive Pokémon by sound alone. [1/2]

    With our Niantic Real World Platform, developers can build beautiful multiplayer AR experiences! Codename: Tonehenge is a multiplayer AR puzzle that we've been building to show how multiple players can interact with digital objects in physical ways. #NianticAR

    When we understand the “meaning” of the world around us, the possibilities of what we can do in augmentation become limitless. To build our AR vocabulary, we use our computer vision algorithms to identify objects and activities with associated confidence scores.
