# Peridot Niantic’s virtual pet experiences for mixed-reality headsets and AR glasses, including AI appearance customization in Hello, Dot. - Findings24: - Site: - Preços: Freemium - Categorias: Companheiros de IA, Jogos de IA ## 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. ## Perguntas frequentes ### Is Peridot a single game? It is a franchise of related virtual pet experiences. Hello, Dot and Peridot Beyond are distinct experiences within it; they require different hardware. ### Which devices are supported by the continuing experiences? Niantic lists Hello, Dot for Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro, and Peridot Beyond for Snap Spectacles, fifth generation. The minigames and AI customizer described here are documented for the Quest 3 release. ### Can I still choose the Peridot mobile game? Niantic announced app-store removal for May 14, 2026 and server closure for August 31, 2026, with all mobile game features ending. That shutdown concerns the mobile game; the same announcement says the headset and glasses experiences continue. ### How does AI customization work in Hello, Dot? In the Quest 3 release, use the virtual microphone to describe the look you want, then place the Dot in the virtual paintbucket to apply the AI-created appearance. ## Informações rápidas - **Product family**: Peridot virtual pet experiences - **Publisher**: Niantic Spatial - **Headset experience**: Hello, Dot on Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro - **AR glasses experience**: Peridot Beyond on fifth-generation Snap Spectacles - **Documented AI workflow**: Voice-described Dot appearance customization in Hello, Dot on Quest 3 - **Mobile game status**: App-store removal and server closure announced for May 14 and August 31, 2026
