Pokemon GO creator launches Wol, a mixed-reality game that takes you through Redwood forest

Wol, featuring a Northern Saw-whet owl as the guide, invites users to explore a vivid and interactive recreation of the Redwood forest. The experience can be accessed on smartphones and tablets but according to Niantic, the experience really shines on Meta’s high-end mixed-reality headsets, including Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2. Utilising the capabilities of mixed reality passthrough, Wol integrates users’ real-world environments, transforming their living rooms into breathtaking ecosystems.

Users can engage with Wol through natural conversations, thanks to its AI-powered technology. Wol is designed to answer questions about the forest’s ecosystem, including plants, trees, and wildlife, providing a rich and informative learning experience.

To embark on the Wol adventure, users can visit meetwol.com on their iOS or Android devices or access the experience through the Meta Browser app on VR headsets. The website provides a seamless entry point to the educational mixed reality experience, offering users a captivating journey through the enchanting redwood forest.
