'Pokémon Go' to introduce two-player live AR option

Pokémon Go will soon be testing a live multiplayer feature that it's calling Buddy Adventure. Based on Niantic's Codename: Neon multiplayer augmented reality tech, the feature lets two different devices create interactive AR objects in the same frame. This means two smartphones, whether it runs on Android or iOS, will be able to see the same objects in the same frame. Using the existing Buddy system, you can pair with a buddy Pokémon and go on adventures with another player. What the experience means isn't clear right now. But the possibility of interacting with someone else's buddy Pokémon is possible. The feature is also cross-platform, so you don't have to worry about using different devices.
