Two professors from Purdue University have published a study (via<\/a> Gizmodo<\/em>) that suggests\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon GO has caused as many as 145,000 traffic accidents. The study, titled Death by Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/a>\u00a0was based on statistics from\u00a0one county in Indiana between\u00a0March 1st, 2015, and November 30th, 2016.\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon GO was released in July of 2016, earning some 100 million downloads in its first month alone. The game was the breakout hit for augmented reality, and millions of fans scoured the city and countrysides looking for\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon to capture for fighting. The study found an increase in traffic accidents corresponding to the increase in players, as well as a corresponding decrease as the game waned. They specifically attributed a half million dollars in vehicle damage, 31 accidents, and two deaths in\u00a0Tippecanoe County, Indiana, to the game. Scaling the data upwards to encompass the whole \u00a0professors offered \u00abspeculative\u00bb findings that the game led to more than 145,000 accidents, 29,000 injuries, and 256 deaths, and that was just in a five month period. Which is interesting considering that augmented reality is just getting going. Society has a long period of adjustment coming as we learn how to deal with both augmented and virtual realities being a daily part of our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":29966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[],"class_list":["post-29965","cool-stuff-found","type-cool-stuff-found","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nResearchers Say Pok\u00e9mon GO Has Caused 145,000 Traffic Accidents -
