Virtual
Reality (VR):
What is Virtual reality? The
definition of virtual reality comes, naturally, from the definitions of both ‘
virtual ’ and ‘ reality ’. Virtual means very close to real and reality is what
we experience.
Virtual reality (VR) has started to
resurface in the gaming industry. Of
particular note is the Oculus
Rift,
a VR head-mounted display (HMD) created by Palmer Luckey. The use of
graphics, sounds and technology in game can be incorporated by VR.
Video games are one of the most application of
virtual reality as of today. But VR will give game designer the freedom to take
games to incredible new places.
Valve Corporation announced their partnership
with HTC to make a VR headset capable of tracking the exact position of its
user in a 4.5 by 4.5 meters area, the HTC Vive.
Sony PlayStation VR : The affordable
alternative to an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, the Sony PlayStation VR will let you
grab things in VR without requiring a price gaming PC as intermediary. Instead
it works with the PlayStation 4 console that you might already own. Just know
you will need to add controllers, and you shouldn’t expect the graphic to be
quite as good as those of the Oculus or vive.
