HoloLens 2 demo reveals how mixed reality could take Pokémon Go to the next level – MobileSyrup
A new Pokémon Go proof-of-concept shown during Microsoft’s Ignite conference showcases how the companies are working together to bring the mobile game to mixed reality with the HoloLens 2.
Niantic’s demo shows off how the mixed reality wearable takes catching pocket monsters in Pokémon Go to another level by allowing players to actually walk around augmented reality (AR) Pocket Monsters in the real world while wearing the HoloLens 2.
That said, it’ll likely be some time before this experience makes its way into an actual HoloLens 2 game.
During the demo, John Hanke, the CEO and founder of Niantic, opens up an AR user interface to allow Pikachu out of a Poké Ball to feed the creature a berry. The brief clip then teases that battles can also take place in AR before it abruptly ends.

“While this demo is not intended for consumer use, it offers an early glimpse into the future evolutions in both software and hardware,” said Hanke. “We’ve only scratched the surface. We know the years ahead to be filled with important achievements which will serve as waypoints in AR’s journey to become a life-changing computing platform.”
It’s important to keep in mind that this is only a proof-of-concept video. If the experience ever does get a consumer release, it will likely be at least somewhat different from what’s featured in this clip.
The personal information of some Nothing customers has hit the web.
As discovered by Android Authority, a file on a text file-sharing website contains a bunch of Nothing Community profiles. While some of the data is here public information, like usernames, comments and join dates, private information, namely emails, are also visible.
Digging into it further, Android Authority says it couldn’t find any evidence of passwords being leaked. It also notes that the data appears to be from 2022 and affects roughly 2,250 Nothing Community profiles, including some for community managers.
Of course, despite Android Authority‘s investigation, there’s always the chance that other info could have been leaked. Therefore, you might want to keep an eye on your info for any strange activity on top of changing your password.
Android Authority says it’s still awaiting comment from Nothing.

Apple has probably stopped production of its poorly-received FineWoven cases for the iPhone, but a new report from the same herald of its death says there is one last set of seasonal colorways coming.
Now according to leaker Kosutami, who first reported the cancellation, there could still be one more push for the FineWoven cases.
Pressed on the rumor, Kosutami emphasizes later in the same thread that if this is correct, it will be for only one more season. It’s now almost eight months since the launch of the iPhone 15 range, so it’s unlikely that there is to be a new mid-cycle color of the iPhone, but perhaps there can yet be new colors for the FineWoven cases.
Consequently, this rumor can at best be said to be possible, especially if Apple had already committed resources to the new colors. However, since FineWoven has proven to be startlingly poor at stain resistance or even just durability, it’s more believable that it is gone for good than it is that FineWoven will get a last hoorah.
