Pokemon Go developer Niantic releases its AR platform to third-party developers

Niantic has announced that it is going to let third-party developers use its augmented reality platform called Real World Platform to develop applications. The company used this same platform to develop the Pokemon Go game that went viral around the world. The platform has been continuously undergoing upgradations which were showcased in a recently released demo video by the company along with the new technique known as occlusion.
Occlusion, the technique which was gained from the acquisition of London-based Matrix Mill, enables the platform to integrate real-world objects into the platform by identifying them using machine learning. This makes it more interactive, which can be seen in the demo video released as the Pokemon named Pikachu hides behind objects in the real world.
Niantic CEO John Hanke at a meeting in San Francisco said that this is just an experimental proof and is yet to be implemented in products. It also showcases what is coming next to the games developed by the studio. However, the company has given no such time frame as to when this technology will be coming to the market.
Let’s connect on FacebookTwitter, and Instagram.

Study reveals the robotic job postings increased by 200% in India

The rising interest among job seekers for jobs in robotics as seen in the past year by far outstrips the growth witnessed by the sector in the previous years, the study said. "Sectors like construction, manufacturing, and healthcare are boosting the demand for robotics talent, and there is enormous scope for the application of the technology across an even wider array of industries," Kumar added. Robots are making a major breakthrough and a fast pace in the field of surgery and construction as robots provide a higher rate of accuracy. Though the positions in robotics are on a high, a decline in hiring has been seen in the past year. India's surgical robotics market is estimated to grow at a rate of 20 percent between 2017 and 2025 according to a marketing intelligence report by BIS Research. With a market for close to 1,000 robots annually, the sector offers huge potential for experimentation, Indeed said in a statement.
