The Future of Gaming

By: Matthew Manross

The gaming world today is becoming more and more advanced with each day. Video games are getting better graphics with each year. So what's the next step for the video game business? Virtual reality could be the answer. But what is virtual reality exactly? Virtual reality is a computer-simulated reality that can be interacted with the use of special electronic equipment in an environment that is seemingly real. Virtual reality basically means "near reality". This new technology could change the way games are played.

There are many devices that can be used for a virtual reality. One of the most known devices for virtual reality is the oculus rift. The oculus rift is "goggles" that you wear while you play video games. While wearing this headset, you can look up, down, left or right, this will change the direction your character is looking in the game. Instead of moving a control stick left of right, you just turn your head. The oculus rift has a release date of early 2016. The success of this device could change how much money and advancement to make virtual reality possible
As a big video game fan myself, I am very excited to see what 2016 will bring for the gaming community. Just imagine in the future, video games are played completely on a virtual level. Games could be played with moving your whole body. This means you could be getting a workout while also playing your favorite game!
