How often do you see someone not paying attention to where they’re walking because they’re engrossed in their phone?

Pokémon GO was rightly heralded as a game-changing release thanks to its pioneering use of augmented reality on mobile phones (in fact it was the first ever title to utilise that feature on Android devices).
