Players of Pokémon Go could find their experience getting a lot more interaction if the boss of the firm develops the game in his way in the future.

    John Hanke, chief executive of Niantic Labs that created Pokémon Go, wants to develop contact lenses to make playing the game even more realistic.

    The lenses would project augmented reality* images onto the real work so players can see the animated Pokémon characters without having to hold up their phone.

    It could end the mystifying sight of dozens of players wandering through public spaces, phones held aloft*, as they desperately attempt to capture the cartoon-like creatures.

    The step could further blur the game into reality as players would see characters, gyms and Poké Stops as if they were in the real world.

    Hanke said, however, it could also help the game achieve one of its main aims, which is to encourage players to explore the world around them.

    He said he thought smart glasses and eventually contact lenses could be used to play the game. “I want the contact lenses that transform everything into whatever kind of themed world I want it to be.”
