When you play location-based games like Pokémon Go, you can’t hunt for creatures on vertical levels in a skyscraper. You can only hunt for creatures on the ground floor. But that could change, as 3D geolocation service NextNav announces a plugin for vertical positioning in the Unity game engine.

NextNav makes it so the game will know what floor you’re on, as well as your coordinates.
