Getting the technology behind Pokémon Go to revolutionize … – VG – VG

In the future you will be able to repair your engine without having a clue about cars. The trend is tremendously fast, experts said.

The Tremendous popularity of the game Pokemon Go provides an insight into the importance of so-called “augmented reality” might be in the future.

Augmented reality is a technology that connects digital technology to the physical world and it has received tens of millions of people worldwide to download the game, which was launched at the start of July.

Experts believe Pokémon Go only is the beginning, and that this technology will revolutionize many segments of society, such as:

• Working

• Entertainment

• Education

Experts: – Pokemon Go-trend has come to be

gives us superpowers

– Augmented reality gives people superpowers. It gives us far more knowledge about our environment, says Professor Mark Skwarek at New York University told VG.

He is among the first in the world to teach students in augmented reality.

according Skwarek technology will allow people with little experience will be able to perform complex tasks, such as repairing engines, equally competent as a person with decades behind him in the industry.

– technology will show you exactly how the job should be done – while doing it, he said.

he believes augmented reality could lead to a new industrial revolution, 200 years after the first.

– People in the future will live very differently than they do today, because of augmented reality. And it can increase our standard of living dramatically, he said.

Now working Skwarek to develop a new communications technology.

– When you call a friend with this technology will your friend will be shown digitally in the room with you. When I the other was interviewed over the phone set a digital representation of the journalist in the chair next to me, he said.

the development is enormous

– the revolutionary augmented reality the last six or seven years is that it has been available on mobile platforms such as tablets and mobile, says Professor Gunnar Liestøl at the University of Oslo.

He says that technological improvements happen colossal quickly. The difference in using the capability of the first iPhone in 2007 and the latest models are enormous. Liestøl think we will eventually have a direct digital 3D rendering of the environment around us with a very high level of detail.

– In the long term it will be difficult to separate the digital information from the physical environment when you look at screen. Then Pokémon sparrows could sit on the branch of a birch tree really standing beside or fly around the tree. With today’s technology will not sparrow could fly behind the tree, it will always lie ahead.

– Pokemon Go has proved to be pure kinder egg, with entertainment, exercise and technology in one package. But also for industry may augmented reality provide many opportunities, and many we do not yet know about, says Charlotte Skourup, head of research and innovation group ABB in oil and gas.

Skourup has researched augmented reality for 15 years and use it daily to increase efficiency at Norwegian workplaces. She believes technology is going to provide a significant productivity growth.

– It will cause that we can do our job better and faster than today. It can produce information very easily, visualize it in a context and will lead to fewer misunderstandings and mistakes, she says.

One of the major advantages of the technology is that anyone can use it, according Skourup.

– the awareness of augmented reality has increased as a result of Pokémon Go. It will help us tremendously in efforts toward industry.

– it sits guaranteed many developers and teams around and wonder how they can do the same Pokémon Go. This is probably the beginning of a new era within Location games and games that use augmented reality. I look particularly great opportunities to leverage technology to teamwork and concepts that go out to collect virtual things in reality, says game Professor Alf Inge Wang at NTNU.

– Augmented reality has gotten his big break and will lead for more investment in such games and applications. It will probably get a lot of bad games, but also some that hit. But it will be hard to beat Pokémon, he said.

Wang think Niantic, developer behind Pokemon Go, have a huge head start in this field. The company uses a lot of information they have gathered in their first game Introduction . By building on each other are new updates and new games even better and comprehensive.

Custom-designed parks

the professor is waiting for the technology will work seamlessly with 3D glasses.

– It will change the picture totally. You do not need to look through another screen and you will not be able to separate the art from the surroundings. This can cause a number of interesting issues, he said.

The new in game entertainment will be that the physical surroundings react to the game, according to Wang. When you approach a building so the light will automatically turn on for some but not others. Walls will be able to move on and doors open.

– There will probably come game parks which are specially designed for this, with many different things that are activated.

Great teaching potential

Professor Liestøl believes that augmented reality will make it easier to teach.

– the interesting thing is that it can attach information to physical locations. Then knowledge concrete and meaningful in a new way, says the professor.

VG-Cathrine’s been enough: is why I shall never hunt Pokémon

He has tested the technology in teaching a 9th grade Majorstua school. When the class learned about climate change took Liestøl students on an excursion to the roofscape. Students were divided into groups and were given smartphones and tablets. Then the pupils presented, through cameras on the screens, one dystopian version of how Oslo will look like in 200 years.

– Students should find evidence of what had happened from today until year 2222. in the game we leave traces to initiate their imagination. Afterwards the presentations to the class about what they had learned, he says. The enthusiasm and the reflections of the students was very encouraging, he said.
