Pokemon Go – A Small Fad Forever
Pokemon Go is the first big hit of augmented reality. It won’t be the last.
AR gaming will come and go, tidal like. There will be a new interaction, a new twist, a new franchise.
But ultimately it isn’t remotely real, nothing like the possibilities of VR.
People will give it a go, and tire of it quickly. Enough people will keep playing to let each hit experience last 6+ months.
But eventually seeing little demons and angels on your friend’s shoulders will get old.
Seeing yellow plumes of sulphuric farts erupting from your enemies butt will get tired.
The real hits of AR will be practical resources. The real gaming hits will be in VR.
