<p>What might a <a href="http://ift.tt/1geP11z">Pokemon Go</a>-like game look like on Microsoft&#8217;s augmented reality headset, HoloLens? A new concept video has an answer.</p>
<p>A company called CapitolaVR created the concept video you see below. Made using the Unity engine with the HoloLens SDK, this is very much a work-in-progress and is meant to be an overview of what something like Pokemon Go <em>could </em>look like on HoloLens. As you&#8217;ll see, the player pinches their index finger and thumb together to throw a Poke Ball&#8211;Pikachu, Squirtle, and Charmander are in the demo&#8211;while the Poke Ball then zips back to the user. Take a look:</p>
<p><p>&quot;For now the Pokemon are randomly generated within a mapped environment,&quot; CapitolaVR boss David Robustelli told<a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2agID8Y"> UploadVR</a>.</p>
<p>He added that the team is now working on developing systems that map different gestures to specific interactions like opening your inventory or activating a map.</p>
<p>As Robustelli said, the Pokemon in this demo are placed within a defined area. A bigger challenge will be to find out how to utilize the Google Maps API and enable it for HoloLens, he said.</p>
<p>&quot;But I&#8217;m sure that in the upcoming years when more and more people are developing for this hardware also, more things will be standard to use in tools and apps,&quot; he explained.</p>
<p>Another thing to note is CapitolaVR has no connection to Pokemon Go developer Niantic Labs and the studio said it doesn&#8217;t have any plans to make a real game from this. It&#8217;s more of an experiment to see what might be possible.</p>
<p>For its part, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella<a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/29ISKHz"> told CNBC this week </a>that he believes the massive popularity of Pokemon Go could be a boon for HoloLens.</p>
<p>&quot;This Pokemon interest will hopefully will translate into a lot of interest in HoloLens,&quot; he said. &quot;I think it&#8217;s fantastic to see these augmented reality applications getting built, because the best thing that can happen when you&#8217;re creating a new category is for applications that are these killer apps, whether it be game or in the industrial scenario, to get invested in.&quot;</p>
