Niantic’s Peridot AR game for iOS and Android devices is available now for download. Each creature, called Dots, is unique, which means that no other player will have one like yours. As you progress, these digital pets can be taught to play fetch, new tricks, and even pose for photos or videos.
The coolest part is that once these creatures are old enough, they can work together to hatch a new generation of Dots to diversify the species. This is accomplished through procedural generation with 100% unique DNA. There are more variations than the stars in the universe or grains of sand on all of Earth’s beaches, according to the developers. If dinosaurs are more your thing, there’s the Jurassic World DinoTracker AR app.
- Stylus Pen: Use a push-pen stylus to sketch, write notes, and edit images with precision.
- Long Battery Life: Get up to 2 days of battery life for extended use without worry.
- Versatile Camera: Capture stunning photos and ultra-wide videos with the 50MP camera system.
Peridot lore tells us they were originally outdoor creatures. So they need to understand about foliage, sky, and water, because each impacts the Dot’s behavior. But there are many types of ‘ground’, and Dot’s will eventually be able to distinguish between them,” said the developers.
