When Games are All Around Us - Designing for New Technologies in AR and Geolocation

But what new considerations arise from merging the "Player Character" with just the player themself? Kellee Santiago, Niantic's new Head of Developer Relations, will lead a discussion on the new genres and play possibilities these technologies could enable, and what design challenges they might present to even the most seasoned video game designer.
