VR (from the English “Virtual Reality”) means simulated reality, that is, a three-dimensional environment reconstructed by computer that can be explored and interacted with via visor or other wearable devices.
VR is not augmented reality: the latter increases the perception we have of the world through a series of digital contents. VR, on the other hand, is an immersive reality that transports the user to the screen, making him experience the game or the experience in first person.
Hi-tech giants are increasingly interested in the development of VR. Among the most popular virtual reality viewers we find Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift, PS VR and HTC Vive.
The field of VR is constantly developing and in the near future it will be an ace up the sleeve for the technology and video game industry. Currently, no VR headset keeps its promises 100%: the graphic rendering can improve and the problem of headaches, hypersensitivity and nausea due to the variation of the field of vision while playing remains to be solved.
