Pok\u00e9mon<\/span> GO is an addictive game and you can find yourself stuck to the screen in a hunt of mythical creatures for many hours a week. But wouldn\u2019t it be fantastic if we could do all of that without a phone?<\/p>\n

I hope that\u2019s possible through Niantic\u2019s AR glasses \u2014 a teaser of which Niantic CEO John Hanke shared on Twitter. The company, which is also behind Pokemon GO<\/span> didn\u2019t say much about when these will be available or exactly what they\u2019ll be capable of.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Pok\u00e9mon<\/span> GO on AR glasses might be a pipe dream, for now, it\u2019s no secret that Niantic wants to map the world for augmented reality<\/a>. Last year, the firm announced that the Niantic Real World Platform<\/a> to enable AR experiences on gadgets ranging from phones to \u201cthe wearable devices of the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Niantic showed off a demo of real-world Pokemon GO gameplay on Hololens 2 headset at Microsoft\u2019s Ignite developer conference.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re thrilled to collaborate with @microsoft<\/a> & @hololens<\/a> on new experiences that will weave together the digital and physical world. Check out this proof-of-concept demo, built on our planet-scale platform, and the amazing possibilities that could await. https:\/\/t.co\/ig0bQUIQ8b<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/gGk5djVayC<\/a><\/p>\n

The demo indicated that the game could work on mixed reality glasses \u2014 at least in a test environment. The company hasn\u2019t indicated when it plans to unveil these glasses. We\u2019ve asked Niantic for a comment, and we\u2019ll update the story if we hear back.<\/p>\n

If analyst predictions are correct, Apple\u2019s own AR glasses are coming in 2025<\/a>, and Oppo\u2019s set to release an AR headset with gesture control this year<\/a>. So the AR glasses market is going to be very hot for the next few years. I, for one, can\u2019t wait to play Pokemon GO with dorky AR glasses on.<\/span><\/p>\n
