Here, we would like to present t you a small list of mobile applications, which you should also pay attention to if you are interested in virtual worlds and augmented reality. What is more, all of the apps are available for both IOS and Android.

We should start, of course, with the project made by Niantic itself, which to some extent served as a basis for the development of Pokémon GO. In the game, you have to move around with your smartphone and capture strange portals, which are linked to all kinds of real places of interest. The game has two factions: The “Enlightened” and the “Resistance” as well as dark matter, portals, artefacts, action points, levels, and other crafty things designed to diversify the gameplay.
