I think Niantic's going to have a harder time figuring out if you handed your phone off to another person vs. are using a GPS spoofer.

- minimaxir 10y agoThis raises a fun question: is it possible to spoof accelerometer/gyroscope data such that it convincingly matches the corresponding movement of a spoofed GPS?

I temporarily defeated a GPS-based AR game about 5 years ago by writing a transparent proxy that could automate repetitive tasks and spoof location data. I'm sure it's possible with Pokemon Go although it probably has pretty sophisticated protections against that sort of shenanigans.
