John Hanke, the founder, and CEO of Niantic wants individuals to understand that a general public living in the metaverse is definitely not a positive. In fact, the man who aided make Pokemon GO as large as it is, wants to make sure society at large understands that accounts that included the metaverse should fill in as warnings for what's to come.

Hanke composed an extensive blogpost on Niantic's official site where he talked about his fears regarding the metaverse. In part, he composed that he accepts any more towards a metaverse would mean that the world was heading towards a "dystopian nightmare."

Hanke started the post by calling attention to that he thinks a many individuals are taking a gander at the metaverse as something to aim for in regards to society at large. He added that probably the greatest names in tech and gaming are apparently embracing the near-future vision of an existence where everybody is in a virtual reality simulation almost all of the time. The Niantic founder then, at that point explained that all of those accounts should send the contrary message. They should be explaining to individuals why a metaverse isn't something to aim for, yet rather run from.

Hanke isn't somebody who is anti-innovation. As the founder of the company behind Pokemon GO he understands the importance of Augmented Reality. Notwithstanding, he said that he doesn't want individuals to become mixed up in innovation.

Hanke said that individuals can utilize innovation to "lean into" the reality of AR. Instead of getting on the web and staying on the web, the Pokemon GO creator wants individuals to stand up, head outside and interact with others. In the Niantic CEO's view, innovation isn't something that ought to be utilized to replace everyday life. Escapism is acceptable, however it shouldn't be the lone thing individuals are aiming for in their available energy.











Maybe Hanke's advantage in thinking of games that deal with real-world interactions appears in the sort of games that Niantic keeps on creating. Certainly, the company is most popular for Pokemon GO yet there are a lot of AR augmented games in its catalog. Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, Ingress Prime, and the forthcoming Transformers: Heavy Metal all utilization AR innovation to allow players to head outside and interact with their environmental factors while also playing a computer game. Hanke also said that his company is striving to make the AR experience better, perhaps to assist with peopling stay further away from a metaverse future.
