Harnessing the opportunities of augmented reality mechanics in our projects for quite some time, we emphasized its exceptional potential if coupled with the in-real-world gaming concept back then in 2015 in our insights on rising gaming trends. Notwithstanding that games like Pokémon Go are mostly referred to as location-based ones, our tech watchers believe it would be somewhat irrelevant to classify them into this group. They suggest applying merged notions like within-world surroundings games or in-real-world games.

During one of the interviews, zGames marketing director underpinned the importance of keeping up with the evolving concept, as it offers a unique experience through its connection with the natural surroundings, while featuring yet more advanced AR tech as compared to other games that immerse players into a fantasy environment totally detracting them from the real world.

Our park of devices includes Microsoft Hololens, Oculus Rift, Google Glass, Epson Moverio Glasses, and a couple of novelties by the leading high tech brands available to us through our close relations to them and cooperation on multiple development projects.
