Are the Oculus Rift and Other Simulators The Future of Gaming?
Posted on September 22, 2014 at 2:32 pm
Technology in the gaming industry has been striding forward at a break-neck speed for years now, and one of the big new things to emerge out of the industry are reality simulators, like the Oculus Rift.
This device is quite large, and sits on your face, so it might not be everybody’s cup of tea, but it does present an interesting future; even if the specifications aren’t currently up to scratch. While it is certainly usable, and many people claim to really prefer using it to just playing games in the traditional manner, the screens do have their limitations. Firstly, the pixels are clearly visible with it, as they can’t produce higher quality screens which have resolution comparable to a large, high quality television.
While it still may be some time before these simulation devices are picked up by the majority of the gaming community, it is certainly something worth trying out, and will leave most people eager for the next device, which will surely offer even greater improvements to the technology.
