Virtual reality is a huge brave world, in which we have not even looked into. Although a certain interpretation of virtual reality can be understood as the Internet in a whole meaning, in reality, its potential is much greater. This is a place where a person can dive completely and find there much more than in real life, and also not thinking about distinguishing the virtual from the real.<\/p>\n

Until recently, VR was majorly represented by four brands – Oculus Rift from Oculus VR, HTC Vive from HTC, Sony PlayStation VR and mobile helmets for smartphones running Android. These are numerous devices without their own processor and screen, using the screen and the computing power of smartphones.<\/p>\n

On October 17, 2017, the Windows Mixed Reality platform, which became part of the October Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, was added to all of this. Microsoft uses the name Mixed Reality for its VR \/ AR products.<\/p>\n

At the moment, Windows helmets based on Windows Mixed Reality have released Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung.<\/p>\n

The main advantage of virtual reality is the effect of immersion. What the creators of video games are so diligently and painfully trying to achieve is immanently inherent in all VR games.<\/p>\n

The \u201cwow effect\u201d is provided to any VR content more or less neatly made. Impressions of the fact that you literally got into the future are so strong that users forgive some dampness of the hardware platform and content.<\/p>\n

What Problems Does VR Face Nowadays?<\/h2>\n

First, the high price. A good VR helmet is a very expensive pleasure. A set with controllers will cost about $ 400-600, plus you need a good powerful computer or a PlayStation 4 console.<\/p>\n

VR is primarily a game. In comparison with other platforms, there are few of them, especially successful ones. Still, for game developers, VR is a new universe, and no one can now be called of great experience in developing VR games. It takes time to find a new ideology, new gameplay, new game mechanics.<\/p>\n

There are unresolved technical problems.<\/p>\n
