Pokemon Go, the world’s first AR game, broke records with the number of downloads and active players. Niantic, the producer of the game, announced an AR skateboarding game for Apple Vision Pro. The game, produced with augmented reality technology, looks quite interesting. Here is the first Vision Pro AR game and its features.
First AR skateboarding game for Apple Vision Pro launches
The long-awaited Apple mixed reality glasses are finally on the market. Even exceeding expectations, Apple Vision Pro received 160,000 to 180,000 pre-orders according to renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Although app and game support for Vision Pro is limited, Niantic has taken an important step.
Accordingly, Niantic worked on the game with Reality Crisis, another game company experienced in AR mobile gaming. The most interesting part of the AR skateboarding game is that the famous skateboarder Rodney Mullen also has a big share in the reality of the game. The AR skateboarding game called Skatrix can be played both indoors and outdoors.
The game, which is based on Google Maps just like Pokemon Go, looks like it will have a similar character development method. From the first images from the game, it is not clear exactly what kind of control it has. However, Apple Vision Pro does not use a controller for its controls.
Vision Pro instead provides control with sensors that can detect the user’s movements such as hand and eye movements. In this sense, we will encounter a similar control in the Skatrix game. However, the Skatrix AR game will not only come for Vision Pro. Accordingly, the game has been available on both Android and iOS since January 15.
