Pokémon Go and the Decisive Moment

Pokémon Go (1) is an Augmented Reality game designed to challenge the player’s skills by capturing a moving virtual element in real space with a ball.

This app (a computer application for mobile devices) enables you to photograph virtual Pokémon in real-world scenes. It blends virtual and real images, ensuring that all elements are properly arranged in the frame at the moment of capturing the photograph (2).

Augmented Reality games have begun to offer a new perspective on understanding and applying visual communication, extending beyond business and recreational games. The gamification of Pokémon Go outside the computer room has also been integrated into the realms of social work and health (3).
