Previously, Niantic has been very successful with its AR-based game Pokemon Go. After that, they have been extremely involved in the Augmented Reality spectrum. They have come up with other gaming giants like Ingress and Harry Potter:Wizards Unite. Currently, Niantic is working with Nintendo to come up with a AR-based puzzle game called Pikmin.

Pokemon Go got massively popular as soon as it was released in 2016. It was totally different with pokemons placed in real world places where people could actually go to find them. Millions of people got busy in looking for them outside. The game crossed  a whooping $3.6 billions in the fourth year of its launch. Recently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the strategy of Pokemon Go has changed drastically. Now it has become more stay-at-home friendly.

The trailer release done by John Hanke showed the glasses but there were no details related to the features and working of the upcoming gadget. The temples of the grey glasses with textured material and containing the orange Niantic logo was only revealed.
