From this articel:
"Kenyan game developer Internet of Elephants has teamed up with conservation science experts from the Borneo Nature Foundation, Goualougo Triangle Ape Foundation, Zoo Atlanta and Chester Zoo to create an augmented reality game all about endangered animals and conservation.  

The game, named Wildeverse, was originally made with the intention of playing outdoors, however, the COVID-19 pandemic forced developers to create an option that lets people move about virtually using in-game controls, or walk around in more confined spaces."
