Ingress, developed by Google’s Niantic Labs, is a groundbreaking augmented reality (AR) mobile game that blends the digital and physical worlds. Players choose between two factions, the Enlightened or the Resistance, and engage in a global struggle to control “portals,” which are real-world landmarks. These portals are connected to create “fields” that cover territory for their chosen faction. The game encourages exploration, teamwork, and strategic thinking, transforming everyday surroundings into an interactive game board. The community-driven gameplay and the real-world interaction make Ingress a pioneering experience in AR gaming.
