Apple offered a first look at a new advanced augmented reality tool known as ARKit at the Worldwide Developers Conference today. As part of the demonstration, Pokemon GO was featured. The mobile game will use the new tech, which allows for “fast, stable motion tracking,” along with scale estimation and ambient lighting estimation for a more immersive augmented reality experience.

It’s unclear how specifically Pokemon GO will be taking advantage of ARKit. Apple also did not say when the technology is releasing, and it’s currently unsupported by the company’s current hardware. Still, Pokemon GO players can look forward to improved AR functionality in the future.
