Virtual Reality
The Electronic Entertainment Expo where the gaming industry giants showed off their latest toys and software development advancements has recently ended. It was certainly impressive to say the least. No wonder teens are addicted to their consoles. If I didn’t have to work for a living, I’d join them. A VR headset contains two small displays, with their imagery slightly
offset to give the illusion of three dimensions. These mini TVs are
strapped to your forehead, along with tracking technology that
determines your head position and orientation inside the virtual
environment. The virtual reality is still more virtual than reality but the developments are constantly improving and it is starting to look more and more like real life. It is definitely the next big thing in gaming when these systems will be available for consumers. This type of technology is also going to be great in other fields, not just gaming.
