iPhone gamers can finally join the Enlightened or the Resistance, battling for control of portals on their way to pick up the dry cleaning or walk the dog. Yes, Niantic Labs has brought augmented reality game Ingress (https://www.ingress.com/) to iOS, after it gained popularity on Android and even came unofficially to Google Glass (http://livingthruglass.com/ingress-gets-an-unofficial-google-glass-app/).</p><p>
In the game, players walk around their city—for real, and not just in the game—searching for portals on a map. Portals tend to be public works of art, landmarks, parks, and historical sites, so it’s a nice way to stretch your legs and find new places of interest nearby. But you’re also trying to capture those portals for your team, expanding the reach of your faction, and picking up invisible items dropped by other players.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2453742/augmented-reality-game-ingress-makes-the-jump-to-ios.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
