It says it's by NianticLabs@Google. Any more information about what The Niantic Project is? Their website doesn't say much: http://www.nianticproject.com/


AFAIK Niantic is a internal google "startup", from what I've heard their real product/project (that I haven't seen) will be released soon-ish.


Here is their twitter account: https://twitter.com/nianticproject


Origin of the name for the curious - "Niantic was a whaleship that brought fortune-seekers to Yerba Buena later renamed San Francisco during the California Gold Rush of 1849." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niantic_(whaling_vessel)
