“…First, there is the experienced space of humanity, its mathematical components that manifest the place the human playing is standing in (e.g. on a map [88,89] that has been designated as a park, home, church, or some other entity on open-street map [41] 1 ). Second, there is an additional space created by procedurally created elements that are mediated by computer or in this case, a mobile device.…”

Since its creation, the Location-Based Game (LBG), Pokémon GO , has been embraced by a community of fans across the world. Due to its recency, the impact of COVID-19 on the community of Pokémon GO players is underexplored. We address how COVID-19 has impacted the players of Pokémon GO by building upon existing work focusing on player gratifications and impacts in Pokémon GO . Through semi-structured interviews, we provide a snapshot of the state of LBG play during unprecedented times. These player interviews demonstrate (1) the importance of in-person socialization to LBG, (2) additional ways players use the game as a coping mechanism, and (3) how intentionality mediates player perceptions of people-place relationships. Furthermore, we explore how Niantic influenced these behaviors through changes to how players interact with points of interest and engage with elder game mechanics such as raiding.

“…Our method is inspired by the minimap mechanism in video games which aims to help players orientate and locate themselves and grasp their environment and targets efficiently and comprehensively. There are studies on the minimap being applied in navigation [52][53][54][55] to help players to walk and explore. Thus, we expect the design of the minimap mechanism could also be applied in the future exploratory navigation system.…”

The development of ubiquitous computing technology and the emergence of XR could provide pedestrian navigation with more options for user interfaces and interactions. In this work, we aim investigate the role of a mixed-reality map interface in urban exploration to enhance pedestrians’ mental satisfaction. We propose a mixed-reality 3D minimap as a part of the navigation interface which pedestrians could refer to and interact during urban exploration. To further explore the different levels of detail of the map interface, we conducted a user study (n = 28, two groups with two tasks). We designed two exploratory activities as experimental tasks with two map modes (a normal one and a simplified one) to discuss the detailed design of the minimap interface. The results indicated that participants showed a positive attitude toward our method. The simplified map mode could result in a lower perceived workload in both tasks while enhancing performance in specific navigation, such as wayfinding. However, we also found that pedestrians’ preference for the level of detail of the minimap interface is dynamic in navigation. Thus, we suggest discussing the different levels of detail further in specific scenarios. Finally, we also summarize some findings observed during user study for inspiring the study of virtual map interface of future mixed-reality navigation for urban exploration in various scenarios.
