Pokemon Go it immediately became the most played game in the world, not only because it talks about the irresistible Pokemon, but also because it is based on augmented reality. As we now well know, playing with augmented reality means playing in the real world, seeing it interactive and different through the smartphone camera. It so happens that the Pokemon appear on the street framed by the phone, ready to be captured.For those who like the genre and want to know what other games like Pokemon GO exist and are playable on Android smartphones and iPhones, we see on this page the best AR games, therefore based on the augmented reality, surprising and very original. All you need is one Android smartphone or iPhone, an internet connection, a spare battery, a desire to move, and some time.
1) Pokemon Go was the big hit of 2016, a game in which you have to move around the real world looking for the Pokemon that appear on the screen and have to be caught.
2) Ingress per iPhone e Android is the game that can be considered its predecessor, made by Niantic Labs, the same as Pokemon GO. Ingress was the first AR game that transforms the world into a globally competitive game full of mystery and intrigue. It is played in teams, with a challenge between the enlightened who seek the power of a new energy discovered by scientists and the resistance, which instead tries to defend humanity against this force. The real world is then modified in the game where you have to discover mysterious artifacts, acquire territories and defend them against opposing teams. Ingress's story evolves every day you play and there are thousands of mysteries that must be solved to complete the mission.

Basically it forces you to run and run away from zombies, which are a sure incentive to keep up the pace and push harder than you would with other apps. Zombies, Run is an immersive audio game that transports the runner to a world full of zombies to escape by running (also works on a treadmill). If you are immersed in the idea of a world full of zombies, the chilling screams of the undead are a very strong urge to run harder and get fit while having fun.
