So -- why am I talking about a cellphone game?? Because it's augmented reality (where Microvision is one of the patent leaders,) and because it is something that would work well with pico projection.... in a crowd like the one shown below, projecting game aspects would make for a very interesting game.
Also because there were a lot of doubts about its market potential and popularity potential. I expect a similar reaction to embedded projection... no one heard about it, and then suddenly enormous popularity.
Kids are getting exercise... and they're going out at night with their parents and their friends.
And a bunch of little projectors on site.... easy to imagine.
(I think any doubts any OEMS have about the potential for augmented reality glasses and their potential popularity has been completely removed in the last five days. This game hasn't even been out for a week!)

"Got a little carried away with the whole Pokemon Go thing and thought we'd drive to Mission Bay to try find some newies. Stumbled on 5 beacons and hundreds of people doing the same. In the middle of winter. Fantastic/Ridiculous."
