Augmented reality has always been a key component to Pokemon Go. It was a major feature when the mobile game was released, and over time, Niantic has expanded that element and refined it.
Moving beyond capturing pocket monsters in AR, the developers have allowed players to take pictures of them from all angles using the technology at hand. Now, Niantic is letting players share their Pokemon with others using Buddy Adventure (working title). According to the company, it leverages real-time AR networking to allow players to have two creatures in Pokemon Go interact on the same screen.
