Peridot

¿Qué es Peridot?

Peridot is Niantic’s family of virtual pet experiences built around Dots. Its mixed-reality and augmented-reality experiences connect digital companions with play in a physical room or outdoors. Hello, Dot offers close-up pet interaction on headsets, while Peridot Beyond is designed for Snap Spectacles.

The Meta Quest 3 edition of Hello, Dot includes minigames, virtual items, and a generative AI appearance customizer controlled through a virtual microphone. The Peridot mobile game is a separate, retired experience: Niantic announced its removal from app stores on May 14, 2026 and server closure on August 31, 2026. That announcement expressly preserves the wider Peridot franchise.

¿Qué puede hacer Peridot?

Mixed-reality pet interaction

Hello, Dot brings a virtual companion into the room so players can pet it and play together using a supported mixed-reality headset.

AI appearance customization on Meta Quest 3

Describe an imagined pattern or coat through the virtual microphone in Hello, Dot. Its generative AI customizer turns the description into a new look for the Dot.

Minigames and virtual items

The Quest 3 release includes Play Dates, Dotball, and an Eating Contest. Playing earns in-game currency for outfits and items in the virtual shop.

Outdoor AR glasses experience

Peridot Beyond brings the franchise beyond the phone screen, with a separate experience built for Snap Spectacles.

Casos de uso

“Play with a companion in your room”

Choose Hello, Dot for close-up mixed-reality pet interaction. The Quest 3 release adds several activities and ways to personalize the companion.

“Create a custom virtual pet look”

Quest 3 players can describe a visual idea rather than manually selecting each appearance detail, then see the AI-generated look applied to their Dot.

“Explore a wearable AR format”

Spectacles users can choose Peridot Beyond for an outdoor experience designed for AR glasses rather than a phone or a mixed-reality headset.
