Ingress is an augmented-reality massively multiplayer online video game (MMORPG) created by Niantic Labs, an internal Google startup (Grietsch). Planet earth is the battlefield where the two teams Enlightenment which represents the green color and the Resistance which represents the blue color as mentioned in the below image. Both the team has to play this game using portals. These portals are park, buildings, statues and anything that represent some landmark around the player. There are many interesting facts about this game:
First, we can create our own Avatar and we don't need to worry about our multiple online identity. Second, for this we always need to connect to wifi because this is not a couch potato game, but we have to move around by walking or driving to finish the tasks that has been assigned to us by the Agents. Third, we can create a virtual adventure around us where we explore the new landmarks and interact with completely strange people.
Finally, this game has helped to make person more active. If I am talking about myself then the life of a Computer Programmer is to sitting at one place and punches the keys of keyboard with multiple lines of code. This is a stressful job to do. Therefore, by connecting this game helps me to explore the world surrounds me with fun create a user friendly environment.
