Britney Spears was on her Circus tour, Bitcoin launched, and Gravity Jack, newly formed, was ideating a completely revolutionary augmented reality gaming concept called Ivatars. The experience was so intriguing and dynamic in its use of augmented reality and geolocation that we had an offer sheet in hand from an outside company to fund the entire project. But before things really took off, we politely turned the offer down, realizing that the technology, geolocation services, and necessary hardware weren&#8217;t ready to make the game as epic as we knew it could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to 2023 &#8212; not only is our idea in the process of becoming a reality, but you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startengine.com\/offering\/gravityjack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">invest in the game<\/a> while also getting ownership shares in Gravity Jack! We\u2019ve reenvisioned the game, now called WarTribe of Binyamin, for our modern landscape, introducing never-before-seen features and gameplay to the world of entertainment. Players must rally together and establish an international rebellion in an effort to defeat the evil AI overlord wreaking havoc in the year 2133. Picture this: you&#8217;re strolling down the streets of your city, but as you peer through your phone&#8217;s screen, the buildings and parks look eerily familiar yet tattered and decrepit from a futuristic war. But how can the app know where players are AND accurately overlay such detailed content on landmarks anywhere in the world?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"670\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gravityjack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Geolocation_Blog-1024x670.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gravityjack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Geolocation_Blog-1024x670.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gravityjack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Geolocation_Blog-485x317.jpg 485w, https:\/\/www.gravityjack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Geolocation_Blog-500x327.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gravityjack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Geolocation_Blog-800x524.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.gravityjack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Geolocation_Blog-1280x838.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.gravityjack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Geolocation_Blog-1920x1257.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the fusion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/g\/geolocation.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">geolocation services<\/a> and augmented reality, the landscape of mobile gaming is about to become more immersive and personalized than ever. Not to mention the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gravityjack.com\/what-weve-built\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gravity Jack&#8217;s key patents<\/a> around AR technology and the groundbreaking WarTribe of Binyamin will be leading the charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>What Exactly is Geolocation?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the tech industry, geolocation means figuring out where a device or person is in the real world. Yeah, it sounds a bit creepy, but at least we don\u2019t have to use paper maps anymore. In combination with our patented technology, this technique uses GPS, Wi-Fi, cell networks, and IP addresses to pinpoint a device\u2019s exact location, providing valuable info for all sorts of apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, in mobile gaming, geolocation is like a superpower. It lets us overlay futuristic digital elements from the 2133 apocalypse onto the user\u2019s real world, making the game feel totally immersive. By harnessing the power of geolocation data, WarTribe of Binyamin will incorporate location-based features, quests, and challenges that are intricately tied to the specific environment of its users. This not only makes the game more exciting and relevant, but also gets players exploring their surroundings, blending the virtual and real worlds to create a completely mind-bending experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>WarTribe of Binyamin and Geolocation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The integration of geolocation services within WarTribe of Binyamin takes the social aspect of gaming to a whole new level. Location-based multiplayer experiences allow players to engage in collaborative gameplay, competitions, and social gatherings within their vicinity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be it XBOX, PC, or mobile gaming, players are traditionally fighting against each other in order to accomplish a mission. WarTribe of Binyamin has taken this concept and flipped it on its head, where all players are working together to fight off evil AI and reclaim their territory. Thanks to geolocation, this concept not only enhances the social aspect of gaming but also promotes real-life connections and friendships among players who share common interests in similar areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, using geolocation in AR mobile gaming can lead to location-specific advertising and promotional campaigns \u2013 so consumers get suggestions that are most relevant to their daily lives. This functionality tied into our natural language processor within WarTribe of Binyamin has the potential to completely disrupt the marketing and advertising sectors as we know it. Don&#8217;t know what we&#8217;re talking about? Get over to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startengine.com\/offering\/gravityjack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">StartEngine page<\/a> and read our overview. It&#8217;s \ud83e\udd2f to say the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>The Future is Now<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The convergence of geolocation and augmented reality within WarTribe of Binyamin is poised to redefine the landscape of mobile gaming, offering players a highly immersive and interactive gaming experience that seamlessly blends their current environment with the compelling dystopia of 2133. By leveraging the power of geolocation, our team can create captivating and personalized gameplay experiences that foster social interactions, encourage exploration, and promote community engagement.<br>Want to learn more about our patents, WarTribe of Binyamin, or have an idea for a killer geolocation app yourself? <a href=\"mailto:hello@gravityjack.com\">Let&#8217;s talk!<\/a> We&#8217;re likely heads down coding, but could always be up for a break to talk tech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s rewind to 2009 for a bit.
