Niantic, Inc. is a software development company best known for developing the augmented reality mobile games Ingress and Pokémon Go. It was formed by Keyhole, Inc. founder John Hanke in 2010 as Niantic Labs, an internal startup at Google.
It spun out of Google as an independent entity in October 2015, soon after Google's announcement of its restructuring as Alphabet Inc.
