‘Yahoo！ MAP’ for iOS Now Has AR Navigation Mode in Japan

Yahoo！ Japan just updated their iOS－based Map application to include a new experimental AR mode which superimposes a blue pathway onto the physical world for you to follow to your final destination． The AR function， which is only intended for walking routes currently， is available starting today on Japan－based Apple devices running iOS 11．

While larger companies like Apple or Google haven’t added ‘AR Mode’ to their own native map applications yet， Yahoo！ Japan’s implementation could serve as a valuable testing grounds to see if people actually use the AR function， or treat it as a fun， but ultimately less－useful novelty．

区块链游戏《Etheremon》接入VR技术

近日，区块链游戏《Etheremon》在推特上宣布，正式加入Decentraland的VR虚拟世界中。

Etheremon是一款基于以太坊（Ethereum）网络的去中心化应用。游戏模拟出一个以太小怪兽（etheremon）的世界，玩家可以在这个世界里捕捉，交易这些小怪兽，也可以在进化之后派它们与对手战斗。这个游戏方式的描述听起来与《Pokemon GO》类似，但《Etheremon》中的战斗并没有实际画面，而是以文字流程进行。

The blockchain game ＂Etheremon＂ is connected to VR technology．

Recently， the block chain game ＂Etheremon＂ announced on twitter， officially joined Decentraland VR in the virtual world．

Etheremon is a decentralized application based on the Ethereum network． The game simulates an etheremon world in which players can capture， trade， and evolve to battle their rivals． The description of the game sounds similar to ＂Pokemon GO，＂ but the battle in ＂Etheremon＂ does not have a real picture， but rather a literal process．
