Pokemon GO is a free application based on “augmented reality” technology: digital and real worlds are connected, as the picture displayed on the smartphone screen is projected onto the location of the real world. One of the main goals of the game – to catch a Pokemon (Pocket Monster – “pocket monster”) – forced many people to take to the streets, completely absorbed in this process.
Experts have warned that the game can lead to injury or robbery in the real world. Russian banks even offered fans of the app to insure themselves against injuries.
In addition, one of the veterans of the Russian special services did not rule out that the application could be used for espionage. Aide to the Prime Minister Gennady Onishchenko expressed concern that the game could seriously affect the psyche.
