The last few weeks “Pokemon Go” has been the latest craze in the mobile app industry. This game uses AR (Augmented Reality) to catch pokemons in the real world. It makes the players move around to different places and discover new pokemons. The players can interact with their environment by going near a lake to catch water pokemon or going to warmer climates to catch sand pokemon. The chances of catching a variety of pokemons in different areas draw players to become more involved with the game.
What’s unique about this game is you can actually catch the pokemons in your surrounding area. Right now the app heavily relies on looking at your smartphone to catch pokemons. However, “Pokemon Go Plus” will be using a wearable device connected to the game so people can be more aware of their surroundings. The device will vibrate when it senses pokemon nearby. Players can also use the wearable device to catch the pokemon.

Some critics are saying that if this game does not upgrade into VR technology, people will soon loose their interest. However, there are some news that the “Pokemon Go” will be upgrading their system soon enough so more players could get involved with it.
The digital technology is rising and more and more people look forward to experiencing virtual reality in the ungraded version.
