PokΓ©mon Go Takes Over Tech

How an updated version of a 90s game made augmented reality mainstream. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones.

How an updated version of the 90s game PokΓ©mon has made augmented reality mainstream.

Presented by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones, with Jane Wakefield from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Online tech desk, and special guest Keza MacDonald, editor of games site Kotaku UK.
