He believes 2024 will be a “breakthrough year” for the popular mobile app, and this optimism stems from a plan to integrate AR and AI technologies like never before. For most players, Pokemon GO’s augmented reality features have primarily revolved around the snapshot feature, where you can capture Pokemon in the real world using your device’s camera. While this has been a fun addition, there have always been limitations to the extent to which Pokemon feel connected to the actual environment. Niantic is all set to change that by using AI technology to embed Pokemon into the real world. The intergrations will allow Pokemon characters to react to real environmental elements in a more realistic manner. Imagine your favorite pocket monsters reacting to cars passing by.
