On this episode of Ruff Talk VR we are joined by Asim Ahmed the Global Product Marketing Lead for Peridot at Niantic! The studio behind arguably the most famous AR app yet - Pokemon Go. Asim joins us today to talk about Niantic's new app on the Meta Quest app lab store - Hello, Dot! A spinoff of the existing Peridot phone app. Listen as we get to know Asim, dive into the making of Hello, Dot, and learn more about what's coming to Hello, Dot!
Hello, Dot, takes the best parts of caring for an adorable creature (a Peridot) and brings them to life through the magic of mixed reality.
In this immersive experience, you’ll be able to admire just how visually stunning your Dots are up close, and develop a special bond with them as you play together. Imagine being able to hook your hands under your Dot’s arms and pick them up – and then toss them up and and let them float back down into your embrace. Or perhaps your favorite song is playing in the background and you want to have a little dance party with your Dot. Or maybe you want to just relax on the couch snuggled up against your Dot. The possibilities are endless and the joy you’ll feel is REAL.
