 Hello dear user Steemit. My name is Alexander, I'm interested in cryptocurrency. This post is not about her, but I couldn't you can't tell.  Want to tell you about the game "Pokemon Go"? 



— Game developer: Niantic Labs. Domestic start-up Google.
— Niantic founded by John and Hank (John Hanke), founded Keyhole, Inc. ("Keyhole") is a project to map the surface of repurchased all the same Google and created on its base with Google-maps, Google-Earth, Google Streets.
— Now pay attention. Keyhole, Inc was co-sponsored by a venture capital Fund In-Q-Tel. This is the Foundation of the CIA, it is officially established in 1999. 



Through the above-mentioned applications, have been important challenges:
— Updated mapping of the surface of the planet, including the road base and so on. But once the maps-kilometrovki was considered strategic and confidential. Civil card even specially made error.
— Cars-robots from Google Streets looked in all the alleys, kartografirovanie our cities, cars, person... 



There was one problem. How to peek into our homes, basements, tree-lined avenues, barracks, a Federal office and so on, down the list? 



And what do you think? All the same company and Niantic Labs releases genius viral toy, the latest technology of augmented reality.
Once you download the app and give it the appropriate rights (access to camera, microphone, gyroscope, GPS, connected devices, including the USB, etc.), and your phone immediately vibrates, informing about the presence of the first three pokémon! (The first three always appear immediately and are nearby).
The game requires them to shoot from all sides, happily rewarding you with success. But at the same time getting a photo of the room where you are, including the coordinates and the angle of the phone. 



Congratulations to you! You have just taken a picture of your apartment! To explain further?

By the way, installing the game you agree to the terms of the offer. And it is not simple. Niantic you are officially warned: "We cooperate with government agencies and private companies. We may disclose to them any information about you or your child...". But who is reading?


And there are paragraph 6: "our program does not have the ability to query your browser "Do not track" — "don't follow me". In other words — I have followed and will follow. 



So, in addition to voluntary and joyful mapping of everything, open up another fun opportunity.
For example, samiznaetekto want to know what is being done in the building, say, the state Duma? And dozens of deputies, cleaners, journalists vibrates the phone: "Pikachu next!". And happy citizens will extract their smartphones, activating cameras, microphones, GPS, gyroscopes... And spun in place, staring at the screen loading channels terabytes videopoke...

Most of that stuff is already available online. The camera thing is easily defeated since it doesn't require you to actually use it. A good example is games that barely make the system requirements don't actually use the augmented reality because their phones can't handle running the game and the camera at the same time. The game also doesn't track anything unless the game is actually open. Simply swapping to say your music app will cause the game to become suspended until you return.
