Campfire, a new social network
During Lightship Summit, Niantic's annual meeting, the group announced the launch of Lightship VPS. This tool dedicated to developers aims to determine the position and orientation of a user very quickly. It will therefore serve as a basis for the development of its real-world metaverse.
Another key announcement was the release of a new social application developed by Niantic. Campfire helps users discover new events, games and people around them. Initially launched in a few regions, the app is slowly expanding. On the feature side, Niantic games, including Pokémon Go, will be added to the network to form groups of players. Thanks to a dynamic map of their region, players can see what's going on around them and make their choices. As a final practical and cool feature, chats can be held, an opportunity to keep in touch with other players and make new acquaintances.
These novelties complete the offer already proposed by Niantic and make the group progress little by little in its conquest of the metaverse. We can't wait to see what Niantic has in store for us!
