Esri introduces Pokévision, a third-party app for the viral mobile game Pokémon Go, uses Esri’s award-winning location-based data and mapping platform ArcGIS. It help players of the game to find Pokémon around them.
Pokévision is a web map powered by ArcGIS services, which shows all Pokémon near user-requested locations. When visitors type an address or drop a pin on the map, Pokémon are displayed in real time. It helps the players hunt more strategically by displaying location changes and time spent in each place.
“When we created Pokévision, we chose Esri ArcGIS almost immediately because it was the only option that was able to scale at the rate we were growing, Using Esri alleviated many of the concerns we had with scaling, and helped us to quickly and seamlessly keep pace with our growing user base.” said the Pokévision founder Y. Liu.
