Virtual reality is no longer a dream; it is on the verge of becoming a new reality. Many gaming industry participants walked the floor of the International Electronics Show in Las Vegas with a brand new appreciation for the tech. Immersive VR has more or less arrived, with its official ship date set for the 28th of March. Pre-order acceptance is also available now.
Despite certain issues in the tech, user experience, and price that might cause some to pause, it is almost a guarantee that a long-term VR trend will begin to take effect in 2016. As a matter of fact, a report from SUPERDATA forecasts an install base of 38 million VR gaming consumers by the end of the year. VR today is considered an exciting technology that will explore brand new ways of storytelling, gameplay, and communication ideas. Where it will go from there is up to its users.
