4 The best VR games you of our century

VR gaming is the term used to describe a new generation of computer
games with virtual reality (VR) technology that gives players a truly
immersive, first-person perspective of game action. 

 Participants both experience and influence the game environment

through a variety of VR gaming devices and accessories, including VR
headsets, sensor-equipped gloves, hand controllers, and more.
Virtual reality games can be played
on standalone systems, specialized
game consoles, or using advanced
laptops and PCs that can power the
leading VR headsets such as
Oculus Rift, HTC Vive.

There are subsets of virtual reality

gaming that use related technologies
called augmented reality (AR) and mixed
reality (MR), where virtual elements are
placed into the player's real world as
viewed through a headset or camera.
 There are individual virtual
reality games and multi-player,
online virtual reality games.
Some VR games place players
in physical combat
environments, while others
involve less confrontational
pursuits, such as auto racing
and acrobatic flying. Other VR
games challenge players –
either alone or with others – to
solve problems, move objects,
or explore new places.
 VR Games on Pcs and Laptops: Games played on high-end
computers provide the most detailed virtual environments and
game options. Popular VR headsets for PCs and laptops in late
2018 include Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and our own Lenovo VR
headset, Lenovo Explorer.

VR Games on Smartphones: For mobile VR gaming, smartphone

manufacturers are introducing their own headsets, controllers and games
(VR, AR, and MR). One such headset/platform is the Gear VR.

VR Games on Game Consoles: These games are similar to those

played on PCs but work only with game consoles from specific
manufacturers. A leading example is the PlayStation VR
headset/platform.

The thrill of VR gaming comes from its first-
person viewpoint and each player's ability
to manipulate the virtual environment.
Unlike regular video games where the
perspective is typically from behind and/or
slightly above the player's character, VR
gamers often feel like they're seeing the
action directly from their character's eyes.
This unique perspective and
playability is primarily
achieved using the advanced
VR headsets or goggles that
are part of nearly every VR
gaming experience. For
additional input and control, a
variety of add-on devices may
be used to translate the
player's real-life movements
into on-screen action.

VR Gaming Gloves:
Sensor-equipped VR gaming gloves have enabled
a new level of detail in today's newest VR games.
Whereas VR motion detectors can sense broad,
whole-body movements, VR gloves enable the
detection of minute hand and finger movements,
allowing developers to create a new generation of
VR games that ask players to pick up small items,
grasp and carry objects, and so on.
The best VR games
1. Microsoft Flight Simulator

Even without a VR headset, the stunning views and

meticulously detailed aircraft of this flight sim are
simply delicious to experience. But adding VR into the
mix makes it all better.

With the first-person viewpoint offered by your

helmet, you can examine all the buttons and switches
up close, and gain an extra level of immersion as you
take off and land at airports around the world, fly
through the clouds (which are dynamically altered in
real-time according to global weather reports) and
admire the landscapes below.
If that sounds a bit overwhelming to you, then you'll
be glad that the game lets you tailor how much of your
plane's controls are automatically or manually
controlled. If you want something more relaxing, you
can just let the game take care of the hard stuff for you
and enjoy flying around. But if you want to feel like an
actual pilot, then you can take off the training wheels
and tinker to your heart's content.
