With the advancement in technology, it's not very difficult to
realize what the future of gaming is. In the past few decades, gaming
has reached a whole new level. Starting from 2D games, today our video
games are getting closer to reality. And video game consoles are
focusing on that.
With that idea, comes virtual reality devices
like Occulus Rift and Project Morpheus. Occulus Rift is owned by
Facebook while Project Morpheus is owned by Sony. These devices are
targeting to give users the premium experience of gaming by allowing
users to interact all around them in the gaming world. You can
experience flying, walking, dancing, shooting like never before, in
virtual reality of course.
Keeping Virtual Reality aside, there
are gesture recognizing devices like Leap Motion. While their focus is
not Virtual Reality, Leap Motion allows users to play video games or
even work on their computer using only hand gestures. This also allows a
rich experience of users working or gaming.
Apart from that,
there is a rise in online gaming with popular platforms like Steam. And
platforms like Google Play Store, Appstore and such is constantly seeing
significant growth in mobile gaming. And with Google Glass, there is a
major possibility of augmented reality (AR) gaming. More on that later.
In
this article, we'll focus on the future of gaming - with devices like
Occulus VR, Project Morpheus and Leap Motion. We'll also talk about
online gaming, mobile gaming and augmented reality (AR).
Virtual
Reality For those who doesn't know, Occulus Rift and other such Virtual
Reality devices are head-mounted devices, which allows you to look
around in a virtual world.
Occulus Rift is the new buzz in the
gaming world. With everyone excited about Virtual Reality, the question
is, will Virtual reality live up to its expectation? Will it be the next
big thing? Well, we like to think so.
If we rewind back in time,
it seems unbelievable that we had Virtual reality devices and 3D glasses
decades ago. They never succeeded back then because of the high cost
and the unavailability of resources. But now, the time is different.
Technology is getting more affordable each day and we have the resources
for such devices to succeed.
There is a whole new prospect for
futuristic gaming gadgets because demand in consumer market in
increasing. And with devices like Occulus Rift and Sony Prometheus, the
foundation appears stronger. While they're not completely out in public,
they will succeed once they are out.
Motion detection through
hand gesture Leap Motion allows us to work and play using only hand
gestures. You just have to plug in the Leap Motion device in your Mac or
PC USB port and you're done. After an easy setup and synchronization,
you are ready to play video games through hand gestures or even draw
using you're hands. Leap Motion allows accuracy up to 1 cm when
designing or drawing. And the device handles gestures fast and smooth.
Leap
Motion even has its own app store. It's called the Airspace Appstore.
Although Leap Motion is at its early stage, developers have started to
work on apps for it already. And you'll find a lot of amusing apps on
the app store. Currently, it only costs $99.99.
Online gaming
Popular online games such as Dota 2 and World of Warcraft is regularly
played by a huge audience. What's amazing about online based games is
that they regularly add more and more modifications to it, which makes
it never ending and ever improving. Well, if the developers decide to
continue. And what's really exciting is that you're playing against all
real life players, an experience that everyone wants.
For all
those benefits, online gaming keeps on getting popular. With most major
games coming out with multiplayer online option, the future of gaming
seems to be based around it. And all you need is a good internet
connection.
Augmented reality (AR) While augmented reality, you
are part of a physical world interacting with non-physical entities. In
virtual reality, the virtual world is simulated. In augmented reality,
the player remains in the real world, while non-physical objects on the
device are placed accordingly using motion detection, object detection
and other AR technology. While there are few apps on AR, there isn't
really a huge game database.
With Google Glass, there is a whole
new possibility. This eye-wearable device can be used as the perfect AR
equipment. Augmented Reality video games in Google Glass can be played
very smoothly as Google Glass is worn on your eyes. Developers have
already started working on AR apps for Google Glass. So, expectations
are that we'll have some fun and exciting new AR games to play as soon
as Google Glass comes out in general. Currently Google Glass is out for
$1500 in beta.
There are many scopes for the future of gaming. It
could turn in any direction, or in many directions. All of these gadgets
add new dimensions to gaming. So exactly which one of them would turn
into a major medium is impossible to tell. It all depends on the speed
of development, availability and user experience.
