So many similar gaming tech advances have occurred in the past few decades. And as the gaming industry expands, you can expect nothing but more of them. Here are the 11 most amazing histories of gaming technology. If you want to know about them all, read along.
Voice-controlled gaming is a fantasy of many gamers. These days modern gaming systems like computers, mobiles, laptops, consoles, etc., can recognize your voice. With your voice, you can turn your controller on or off. Also, you can control the gameplay with your voice, interact on social media or play the songs you like. Here are some games with voice recognition:
The facial recognition tech, along with 3D scanning, is one of the major advances in gaming technology that is taking the gaming technology to the next level. With the help of the above, you can create a gaming avatar that looks like you. You can also transfer your expressions into different digital creations within the game.
This amazing Intel® RealSense™ 3D camera allows game developers to create games that can adapt according to the player’s emotions. It can focus on 78 points on your face and raise the difficulty of a game if you smile. Now, how can you beat that?
It was a time when we used to be fascinated with basic 8-bit graphics in games. However, with time graphics in gaming have become really advanced. You can now render real-world objects into games and also include shadows with ray tracing.
Some games come with such a good graphic quality that it feels as if you’re within the game. Here are some games with high-end graphics:
What if you could play with your hand but without a controller? Well, this is what Gesture control helps you do. The Intel RealSense tech allows you to play FPS games by using some common hand gestures. With a 3D cam that tracks 22 different points in your hand, gesture control can help you control the gameplay with your hand movements.
You can take the example of the Warrior Wave game. It uses Intel RealSense tech, one of the top advances in gaming technology, using which you can use your hand and lead a group of soldiers to safety.
VR has been there since the 1990s, but most developments took place in the last decade. If you want to enter into a new immersive world of gaming, Virtual Reality is what you need. You just need to wear a VR headset and you can enter a new immersive world.
Earlier VR headsets used to be quite costly. But with the advent of VR in more games and with the expanding audience, VR headsets(Oculus Rift, HTC Vive) have now become more affordable. Here are some VR games you can enjoy:
Virtual Reality is no doubt immersive, but it still isn’t real. And for those who want something better in their world can try Augmented Reality. AR games offer the gamer a unique perspective. Instead of entering a made-up world, the user can explore and interact with real-life objects around him.
For example, you can place table hockey in your kitchen on your kitchen table. Who can forget the world-famous Pokémon Go wherein the user had to explore the surroundings to capture game creatures? Here are some examples of AR games:
When the game graphics are so good, you need better displays to show them off. Several 4K games demand 4K TVs or UHD monitors for the best immersive experience. Although 4K displays and laptops used to cost a fortune, the prices have now lowered. You can easily afford a 4K display capable of offering an immersive experience.
With high-definition displays, you can notice everything from shadows to minute details and reflections, etc.
Who isn’t aware of mobile gaming? These days smartphones are used for everything but calling. All you have to do is download and install a game on your smartphone and get going. You can play millions, literally millions of games on your mobile device regardless of where you are.
Also, mobiles have become quite advanced in terms of technology and affordability in recent years. This shows how we’ve welcomed mobile gaming into our lives. Here are some popular mobile games developed by well known mobile game developers:
Wearable gaming includes wearing some accessories like watches, gloves, and even jackets equipped with motion sensors. This technology helps the user play or interact with the game using their body. Now, this may sound a bit similar to gesture control, but it’s not.
Wearable gaming involves motion sensors that allow you to feel every blow that you take from an opponent. So, it’s another gaming wonder that can take you by surprise.
Regular games are to be first installed on your PC or mobile before you can play them. Such games sometimes require massive internal memory and high-end features like more RAM, a bigger processor, etc.
However, cloud gaming solves this problem. Developers these days are trying to shift the games on the cloud servers equipped with large memory. This way, you won’t have to install the game on your device, and you can still play it without problems. Here are some cloud games that you can play:
Earlier, you had to visit a casino and look for an empty table. However, with the advent of online casino gaming, you can enjoy all that at your home. With life-like graphics and casino-like sound effects, it makes you feel as if you’re in a casino.
