Augmented reality games are entertaining and intriguing because of the fact that they interact with the real world, but that also means that we should be prepared for some real-world consequences. A new study reveals that one of the most popular AR games ever--Pokemon Go--has contributed to a lot of car accidents and property damage.

The study was produced by researchers at Purdue University, who focused on police reports from Tippecanoe County, Indiana, to look at the effect the game had on driving behavior and accidents. The results were striking: controlling for a variety of different variables, the study finds that $500,000 in damage, 37 injuries, and 2 fatalities from car wrecks can be attributed to the Pokemon Go craze. Further reinforcing the evidence, the game's effect weakened as time wore on and the userbase dwindled.
