Changes

[[Augmented Reality]] (AR) is a technology that overlays computer-generated images, sounds, and contextual data onto the real world, creating an interactive composite view. Unlike [https://vrarwiki.com/wiki/Virtual_reality Virtual Reality], which replaces the user’s surroundings entirely, AR supplements reality—letting digital [[Pokémon]] appear on streets, in parks, or even on a player’s desk. Since its launch in July 2016, Pokémon GO has continuously expanded its AR tool-set, evolving from a simple camera overlay into sophisticated, persistent, and shared experiences that leverage surface detection, spatial mapping, and cloud anchoring.
