The developer of the Pokemon Go app said Wednesday that it would enhance the app to leverage Apple Inc.’s [a: aapl] ARKit. The new version of the app will feature better augmented-reality capabilities. Pokemon creatures will be “fixed in space,” allowing users to get close to them and better observe them. The updated app will also better sense proximity to Pokemon, which will make it easier for users to get bonuses. The developer, Niantic Inc., plans to follow up on Pokemon Go with a new augmented reality game based on the Harry Potter series. Niantic was spun out of Alphabet Inc. in 2015 and counts Nintendo Co. Ltd. among its investors.
