The company “Pokémon GO” invades the world of augmented reality glasses – Erm News

The company “Niantic”, the developer of the augmented reality game “Pokémon GO”, has unveiled images of a prototype of the first glasses with which the company will enter the world of augmented reality glasses.

John Hankey, CEO of the company, showed an image of an upcoming new model of glasses for augmented reality, as the company moved more aggressively towards augmented reality.

“It’s exciting to see the progress we’re making to enable new types of devices that enhance our platform,” Hanke commented on the image via Twitter.

Niantic is quite actively investing in the augmented reality space, so it is possible that it has entered into a promotional partnership with a startup on a project.

But this eye-catcher makes her appear as if she is displaying her branded device.

It is also possible that this is a product in the smart glasses category that does not include a screen, but instead focuses on creating audio or camera functions in a pair of glasses.

The photo comes amid a wave of activity for the company, which last week announced an augmented reality game based on “Pikmin,” another collaboration with Nintendo after the hugely successful “Pokémon GO”.
