Google Launches Real Life Game Called ?Ingress?

Nov 17


Niantic Labs ?Google Smartphone App Team? released a new multiplayer gaming platform for mobile users that turns your real-world location into a virtual world. The game is called ?Ingress? and uses a built-in scatter map technology to add a virtual layer to the real world, it leads you to real statues and landmarks to continue the game. In the game a strange energy has been discovered by European scientists and must be controlled before it controls you. Check out the video after the break for a cool impression of ?Ingress?.

John Hanke, the location-based genius behind past successes and milestones like Google Earth, Google Maps and Street View commented, ?We live in a world of abundant information and ubiquitous computing ? why not play in it? For the first time, the world, not the screen, can become the basis for a mobile game ? it?s a controller in the palm of your hand.?

To get invited for the trial stages of the game for Android go to Ingress.com here.
