Niantic Labs

Niantic Labs CEO John Hanke has been working on technology that helps people navigate and enjoy places in the real world since he helped create Google Maps nearly 20 years ago. So it's not surprising that he isn't a fan of the current hyperbole surrounding the notion that technology is poised to hatch a “metaverse”.

Pokemon Go players need to be on at least level 10 to experience the Trainer Battles feature.

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite will be another augmented reality (AR) title just like its predecessor, and will arrive sometime in 2018.

Pokemon Go developer Niantic rejects reports that Pokemon Go for Apple Watch has been cancelled.

This week saw plenty of launches, and some interesting developments about the two new iPhones, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 7

If Mario coming to iOS devices as Super Mario Run wasn't enough, Niantic took to the stage to announce Pokemon Go for the Apple Watch.

The creator of mobile gaming phenomenon Pokemon Go is exploring more sponsorships by companies that want to attract character-hunting players to their businesses, the chief executive of developer Niantic Labs said on Tuesday.

The massive popularity of the augmented reality game Pokemon Go has broken many a record. While on a daily basis, it is being used twice as much as the Facebook app on Android, the insanely popular app from Niantic Labs has the most first-week downloads since Apple launched its iOS app store eight years ago, media reports said.

Despite Pokemon Go not yet being officially available in Indonesia, many have downloaded it illegally and taken to the streets to hunt for virtual "pocket monsters".

Until Pokemon Go, Nintendo had taken every opportunity to say its main focus was consoles, and mobile games were just means to lure more people to them.

The plague of malicious tricks surrounding the AR game highlights the security risk posed by Android's relatively open ecosystem.

The news this week was dominated by Pokemon, but there were also some major launches and some very interesting developments in telecom.

Is Pokemon Go a fad, or the start of a trend? One Indian startup is betting on the latter, and says its secret sauce is variety in gameplay.

Natural life meets battery life. What a concept.
