Mobile devices have been used as a platform for Augmented reality (AR in short) games, using the device's camera(s) to as an input for the game. While playing the game, the player aims the device's camera at a location and through the device's screen, sees the area captured by the camera plus [[computer-generated graphics]] atop it, augmenting the display and then allowing the player to [[Human–computer interaction|interact]] that way.{{Citation needed|date=January 2022}} The graphics are generally drawn as to make the generated image appear to be part of the captured background, and will be rendered app memorizing as the player moves the device around.{{Citation needed|date=January 2022}}  The most successful and notable example for a mobile game that has an augmented reality feature is ''[[Pokémon Go]]'' (2016), where the player travels to locations marked on their GPS map and then can enable the augmented reality mode to find [[Pokémon|Pokémon creatures]] to capture.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/12/technology/pokemon-go-brings-augmented-reality-to-a-mass-audience.html | title = Pokémon Go Brings Augmented Reality to a Mass Audience | first1 = Nick | last1 = Wingfield | first2 = Mike | last2=  Isaac | date = July 11, 2016 | access-date = February 16, 2017 | work = [[The New York Times]] }}</ref> However, as of January 2022 there has been a lack of significant AR mobile games success since, with several AR mobile game projects being shut down, such as [[Microsoft]]'s [[Minecraft Earth]] and Niantic's [[Catan: World Explorers]]<ref>{{Cite web|last=Campbell|first=Ian Carlos|date=2021-09-17|title=Niantic is shutting down its AR Catan game after a year of early access|url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/17/22680166/niantic-catan-world-explorers-shutdown-early-access|access-date=2022-01-04|website=The Verge|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Webster|first=Andrew|date=2021-11-03|title=There will never be another Pokémon Go|url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/3/22761166/pokemon-go-ar-games-future-pikmin-harry-potter|access-date=2022-01-04|website=The Verge|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Warren|first=Tom|date=2021-01-05|title=Microsoft's ambitious Minecraft Earth game is closing down on June 30th|url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/5/22215253/minecraft-earth-closing-down-june-2021-microsoft|access-date=2022-01-04|website=The Verge|language=en}}</ref>
