Movie mogul Steven Spielberg says the future of gaming is virtual reality. He thinks that virtual reality, which experimentally came and went in the eighties, is going to be redeveloped, just like 3D is being redeveloped today. Spielberg believes that virtual reality will be the new platform for our gaming future. I believe this. Virtual reality is as inevitable as everyone’s been saying for decades. Technology today is constantly bringing new surprises and things are moving very quickly. Virtual reality had many kinks in it and there were many things that needed to be revised and fixed with the virtual system. But technology has come a long way. Since we now have the I-phone, I believe that we can finally fix and figure out virtual reality.
This game system will make a lot of money and hopefully revitalize the economy. Every year, a game system makes a lot of money, especially around the holidays. Virtual reality will become a record holder once it is fixed. The closest game we currently have to virtual reality is the Nintendo Wii. When I tried to buy my little brother a Nintendo Wii for Christmas a couple of years ago, it was completely sold out. This leads me to believe that a virtual reality game system will sell out and there will be more demand for it than any of the existing games. The existing games are all basically the same, they all have a controller and move things on the screen. A virtual reality game system will be radically different. A virtual reality game system will allow people to believe that they are actually in the game. Nothing can beat real life. Virtual reality comes as close to real life as we can imagine. I hope that virtual reality games come into popular use soon. I hope that they are readily available soon. This will redefine fun. A virtual reality game can also revitalize learning. Professions can use virtual reality to practice their profession. This includes doctors, pilots, and the armed forces. Chapter 13 talked about virtual reality and how it can be used by professionals to practice their skill. Virtual Reality is the future!!

This makes sense. With the change of games to incorporate motion detection (Wii) it seems like the next step would be to create a virtual world with motion detection and and interactive environment. With people like Spielberg interested it would be cool to see what they could come up with!
