"Pokemon Go" has been the inspiration of a gesture control start up Gestigon in creating the very first mixed reality experience. The technology is reportedly being controlled with hands.

The new offering from Gestigon uses its middleware tech in combination with Google Cardboard-based head-mounted display. "The Pokemon Go" inspired technology is also integrated with the tech of a PMD Picoflexx 3D depth sensor and a Galaxy S7 smartphone from Android.

The camera of the Galaxy 7 is integrated to capture the surroundings. It also functions to match up the 3D spatial data from the Picoflexx depth sensor to track hand movements. This feature lets users to browse through different areas and grab virtual virtual Pokeballs which is the same as "Pokemon Go's" mechanics. In this new technology, users are allowed to throw the ball like throwing a real ball naturally, Tech Radar reported.

However, Gestigon's new technology is not yet official that is why the UI shown differs from the "Pokemon Go" in-game look. This is also the reason why the background music used the "Pokemon Go" theme song with a slightly off variation.

Meanwhile, apart from "Pokemon Go's" technology, a new Gearless Omni-directional Acceleration-vectoring Topology (GOAT) system is being developed today. This technology uses a planetary gear with a single motor in creating a highly dynamic range of motion in a robot. The GOAT system allows for the robot's leg to dynamically move. When the robot splats down hard, the entire leg will then take the force of the  fall. It can also modify its legs accordingly as it move sideways or on a sheer cliff face like a goat, TechCrunch reported.

"Pokemon Go" hype is being used by Gestigon to let people discover what its middleware could do. Gestigon actually included a video of the "Pokemon Go" inspired software as a companion demo in its cardboard development kit.
