Virtual reality is a full body experience that puts you into your favorite games and movies. VR is still in it's infancy when compared to television and video games, and the potential for VR is absolutely limitless!]]> 2017-11-27 18:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/210564107 60965 https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211054053 VR, or Virtual Reality, is Virtual reality (VR) is a computer technology that uses virtual reality headsets or projected environments, sometimes even combined with physical environments or props, to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate the user's presence in a virtual world, game, or movie. A person in virtual reality is able to look around the digital world, and with the high quality VR that is being produced today, even move around in it and interact with virtual features or items. The effect is commonly created by a VR headset (like the Oculus Rift) consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes. Hopefully in the future,  VR can be created through specially designed rooms with multiple large screens, or a combination of the headset and a real-life environment. ]]> 2017-11-28 17:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211054053 60965 https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211059483 Virtual Reality technology is still very young, but that doesn't mean it's not well developed. You would be surprised how much VR could change in just a few years. Mark Zuckerberg predicts that by about 2021, VR headset displays will be in full 4K, almost as high as 20/20 vision! Physical controllers will soon be a thing of the past as well. Haptic gloves will soon be the placeholder of the traditional controller, and instead of using the traditional dual stick controller, or a Wii style stick, your hands will be be in full control. Eventually, you may even be able to FEEL what's in the game with these gloves. Another piece of technology that will be here sooner than later are VR chat room. You'll be able to talk and do activities with friends or family in VR in open, fun environment. It's like Skype of steroids! ]]> 2017-11-28 17:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211059483 60965 https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211098292 Virtual reality is most definitely the next step in the entertainment industry. Can you imagine exploring your favorite movies with the characters that you love? Or maybe you want to venture to the top of Mount Everest with your friends, all without leaving your home? This what virtual reality is currently trying to accomplish. Everyone from Disney to Nintendo is trying to find a way to incorporate virtual reality into their products. Not only does it make the product more flashy and appealing, but it immerses the user into the product more than ever before, and keeps them excited and engages. It some cases, this can even be active. Products like the Omni VR treadmill let's the user run and move in game via 360 degree treadmill! This is just one of many tools that will eventually be incorporated into every form of movie and video game imaginable!]]> 2017-11-28 18:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211098292 60965 https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211118595 2017-11-28 19:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211118595 60965 https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211121475 2017-11-28 19:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211121475 60965 https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211122639 2017-11-28 19:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211122639 60965 https://padlet.com/60965/futuretech/wish/211126670 https://www.pcmag.com/article/342537/the-best-virtual-reality-vr-headsets
