“…Pokémon Go was the focus of considerable scholarly attention when the game was launched in 2016. Existing literature on Pokémon Go considers whether the game is an effective health intervention (Gabbiadini, Sagioglou, & Greitemeyer, 2018;Krittanawong, Aydar, & Kitai, 2017;Ma, Ng, Schwanen, Zacharias, Zhou, Kawachi, & Sun, 2018), a useful pedagogical tool (Howell, 2017;Tran, 2018), and whether Pokemon Go players exhibit particular personality traits (Khalis & Mikami, 2018;Tabacchi, Caci, Cardaci, & Perticone, 2017). Other scholars have examined the role of Pokémon Go in social connectedness, and to a lesser extent, in placemaking (Denyer-Simmons, 2016;Vella, Johnson, Wan Sze Cheng, Davenport, Mitchell, Klarkowski, & Phillips, 2019).…”

In this paper, I employ the concept of the palimpsest of meaning (Bailey, 2007) to illustrate how Pokémon Go shapes and produces relations to place. Using ethnographic data from student players at the University of Guelph, I demonstrate how augmented reality (AR) gaming constructs a curated layer of place meaning that influences players’ knowledge of, relationships to, and movement through space. In so doing, I argue that we should not ignore the potential of AR technology to influence how we come to know place, emphasizing the impacts that biases, which are coded into this technology, might have on subaltern narratives of place and on marginalized communities, particularly in the context of Canadian settler colonialism and the erasure of Indigenous knowledge.

“…En complemento, Yang y Liu (2017) señalaron como motivadores sociales para jugar PG: la conservación de amistades e iniciación de relaciones. No obstante, los jugadores con ansiedad social preferirán pasar el rato libre con videojuegos tradicionales que impliquen no salir del hogar para evitar relacionarse con otras personas (Khalis y Mikami, 2018). Los estrategas deben evaluar los componentes motivacionales en su labor invariable de crear valor a los usuarios, encaminándolo en ventajas competitivas en las que el cliente sea la piedra angular en la visión organizacional que desalienten el ataque preventivo de los rivales actuales y de los futuros competidores.…”

Pokémon Go es un juego descargable basado en la localización que causó una histeria colectiva durante su lanzamiento en 2016. Este artículo, mediante una investigación documental, tiene como objetivo diseñar un modelo teórico con base en los factores de éxito de Pokémon Go. Se identificaron cinco factores de éxito: 1. nostalgia, 2. descarga gratuita, 3. actualizaciones continuas, 4. dinámica de juego, y 5. sana implementación de micropagos. El modelo teórico diseñado puede influir en el desarrollo de posteriores modelos estratégicos que auxilien a los tomadores de decisiones en la dirección estratégica organizacional. Además, el presente aporte teórico puede ser capitalizado por la comunidad académica para analizar a profundidad el mercado de las aplicaciones electrónicas en subsecuentes investigaciones empíricas.

“…(Raj, Karlin & Backstrom 2016) There are already numerous psychological studies on the behavior or even the personality features of Pokémon Go players (e.g. Khalis & Mikami 2018;Tabacchi, Caci, Cardaci & Perticone 2017). However, more diverse analyses of the relation to the environment within which the play takes place, seem to be missing in research literature.…”

Understanding better the effects of the use of mobile apps to the use and appreciation of urban environments has been gaining more prominence as a research topic recently due to the increasing everyday use of these apps. Whether this type of digital mediation changes the lived experience is of interest in this article. The intention is to show, that besides changing the prevailing practices and behaviour, new technologies also enhance and add positive value to the everyday urban experience. This positive experiential value is approached with the framework consisting of recent advances in philosophical urban and everyday aesthetics, which put emphasis on both familiarity and fun as important qualities that describe the everyday experience in urban environments. We claim, that new digital tools increase the quality of fun when moving in familiar surroundings. Fun, understood through the lens of the aesthetic, precedes the experienced quality of playfulness. It alters the existing affordances of the urban environment in a way, that make more complex aesthetic qualities emerge. The case examples are GPS-based wayfinding applications such as route planners and navigation tools for pedestrian use but and related AR applications such as the popular game app Pokémon Go.
