Google launched a strange site Niantic Project

The Niantic Project website has appeared on the Internet for the authorship of a search giant — at the same time, the project apparently still does not have any explicit and straightforward functionality.

The darkly-styled website is styled as a board, which is usually used by police in Hollywood films to attach evidence to it in the form of photographs or some notes. Among the entries on the “board” you can find a video simulating a recording from a satellite with designated latitude and longitude and with a certain QR code, the scan of which gives a plain-text with a long sequence of numbers similar to an encrypted message.

Riddles are still enough on almost all posters - one of them can also find the following:

Every operation reachds a risk-assessment stage. At this point, my determination is that it is worth more trouble than it is worth.

A welcome video called “The trail starts here” is a no less mysterious message made in the style of Lost - with common intriguing phrases against the background of a picture with muted colors; in particular, it is argued that the goal of the project is "... true secret with many questions ". Under all the "stickers" is a control in the form of a slider, which is designed to move along the timeline, and it is impossible to go further than today - November 10, 2012.

Among the assumptions that this would all mean, there are several: from the fact that this is a kind of innovative geolocation service from Google, a game in the style of conspiracy theory and ending with the fact that this is a viral project related to the release of Google Glass glasses.

All interested are invited to leave an email in order to receive an invite in the future.
