Peridot

O que é 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.

O que Peridot pode fazer?

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.
