The future of computer games?
The Facebook owned Oculus Rift is the first
of a next generation of Virtual Reality headsets
based on technology made cheap enough because
of the popularity of smart phones, could become
the future of all computer gaming.
Oculus VR have made some special
development kits which are for computer game
makers to use to help make new games. Some
industry experts think that a second development kit may be announced as soon as
late March at the Game Developers Conference. With the Occulus Rift you will be
able to play many new computer games such as Left 4 Dead, Half-Life 2. Portal
2. Skyrim, Mirror's Edge, Unreal Tournament 3, Dear Esther and DiRT2.
People can connect the Occulus Rift to their computer or games console and
play games standing up or sitting down. People who have used the headset say that
a short demo game to show how the headset will work felt as though they were in
another world. Also that the game can become part of your reality because your
subconscious mind can become involved in the virtual reality as well as your
conscious mind. You can wear your own headphones and it has special lenses in
case you need to wear glasses.
The final version for everyone may be a year away and there are many
improvements that will need to be made before it is ready for the consumer market.
Nobody is certain about the price, but people think it will cost about 250 to 300 US
dollars.
