Pokémon Go

Abstract: Pokémon Go, the popular Augmented Reality based mobile application, launched in July of 2016. The game's meteoric rise in usage since that time has had an impact on not just the mobile gaming industry, but also the physical activity of players, where they travel, where they spend their money, and possibly how they interact with other social media applications.

“…This paper examines the potential for honeypot effects to be stimulated in the use of mobile augmented reality (AR) gaming applications. AR games allow users to play in a mediated reality that is produced by overlaying graphics from the game onto the real-world environment [30]. Typically, a players' geographic location is incorporated as part of the game, enabling players to interact with hidden objects from the AR environment [32,42,43].…”

A su vez, la inmersión en el videojuego se apoya con el uso del GPS para indicar al usuario donde están localizadas las criaturas virtuales y la distancia que se debe recorrer para "capturarlas" (Colley et al, 2017;Kondamudi et al, 2017, Wang y Kuo, 2018.…”

“…"Una vez que el tráfico peatonal aumenta, también lo hacen las ventas" (Frith, 2017, p.52). De esta forma el mundo virtual puede interactuar en gran medida con su contra parte del mundo físico como, por ejemplo, en el número de reseñas otorgadas a un restaurante por los comensales (Kondamudi et al, 2017).…”
