Abstract

The article explores bodies in Pokémon Go, a mobile geolocation game with augmented reality. The game immediately gained popularity among a broad audience worldwide, while researchers got an opportunity to leave laboratories and study the practice of augmented reality in the field. The empirical material examines the bodily-sensory experience of the game, which becomes the point of assembly of the player’s “realities”, which can be visible or invisible to outside observers.

KeywordsPokémon Go, mobile games, geolocation games, augmented reality, hybride reality, body
