'Pokemon Go' has definitely been coming out with a bang with a lot of different things happening all at once like the special 'Pokemon Go' Verizon event, the AR Mapping tasks that give players uber realistic graphics, and even pretty neat in-game facemasks?
The 'Pokemon Go' AR Mapping tasks by Niantic
According to an article by Engadget, Niantic has finally announced the AR Mapping tasks that are for Trainers level 20 and above. This event is now happening after almost five months after the initial announcement of the company about this feature.
When players try to spin a PokeStop that is given a mark "AR Mapping" tag, they'll then get a new Field Research Task asking them to open the known AR scanning screen in order to explore the area around.
This new technology by Niantic is something they've been trying for quite a while as they aim to get the Pokemon to actually interact with real-world objects like hiding behind a tree trunk and more. The feature was previously called "Reality Bending".
Trainers level 20 and up can now receive AR Mapping tasks! Try finding one today by exploring the PokéStops in your area! Stay tuned as we continue to roll out this feature to more Trainers. — Pokémon GO (@PokemonGoApp) October 20, 2020
