Since becoming widely popular in the 1980s, video games have gone a long way, but some incredible technological advancements have brightened the future of gaming even further. Here are a few illustrations.
Voice Recognition
Too lethargic to grab that controller? Not a problem! Although voice control gaming has been available for a while, the possibility of integrating this technology into gaming systems has now materialized as computers can now identify user speech instructions with ease. With the use of this technology, you may not only turn the console on and off but also utilize voice commands to manage gameplay, engage with others on social media, play media from your library, or do web searches—all by just speaking to your gaming system.
Gesture Control
Alternatively, throw away your controller entirely! With just a few hand gestures, you can communicate with your tablet or play first-person shooter games thanks to Intel RealSense technology. Gesture control, which makes use of a 3D camera that tracks 22 distinct locations on your palm, enables players to interact with their gaming experience by utilizing their natural body movements. In the game Warrior Wave, for instance, you may use RealSense technology to guide a company of Ancient Greek soldiers to safety by tracing the outline of your hand on the screen.
Facial Recognition
With the use of 3D scanning and facial recognition technology, systems can creatively translate your own expressions to other digital creations or really reproduce your likeness in the game world, allowing you to create a personalized avatar that looks precisely like you. Furthermore, by detecting 78 distinct spots on a person’s face, the Intel® RealSenseTM 3D camera may enable developers to make games that adjust to the player’s emotions. A few grimaces on your game screen, for instance, would instantly cause the system to lower the complexity of the game.
Virtual Reality
Despite the fact that many virtual reality gaming consoles are still in the early stages of development, companies that are creating VR headset displays stand to give players an entirely immersive gaming experience that has never been seen before. Before you return to reality, you will truly be able to lose yourself in the game.
Amazing Graphics
From the days of simple 8-bit game visuals, we’ve gone a long way. Thanks to recent technological breakthroughs, players may now enjoy games in fully drawn landscapes with incredibly realistic graphics. Higher image quality can make a game feel more playable and provide the impression that you are inside the game.
High definition screens
You need a legitimate method to showcase your game’s graphics when they’re this fantastic. Now for Ultra 4K gaming. Although 4K laptops (like the Lenovo Y50, powered by Intel) and televisions (which must support at least 4,000 pixels) used to cost thousands of dollars each, their prices have gradually dropped, making 4K the new norm for how we watch games and watch television. There is nothing that compares to its unparalleled colors and clarity. And you believed that 1080p appeared good?
Mobile Gaming
With the invention of smartphones, you can now play games in the palm of your hand instead of in your living room or arcade. As you can see from the throngs of individuals hunkered over games on their gadgets on your morning train ride, mobile technology has expanded the love of digital gaming beyond die-hard console and online players.
Augmented Reality
Should you find the virtual world unappealing, how about exploring our selection of games? AR games provide the player a perspective that is exclusive to them and are not limited to a TV or computer monitor. They go through real-world places and apply the game’s objective to actual circumstances. Play table hockey, for instance, at any position on your kitchen counter, or solve puzzles that are plotted out using obstacles in your backyard.
Cloud Gaming
Rather than designing video game systems that demand more powerful hardware, developers are attempting to reduce the processing burden by utilizing the cloud. Games are no longer restricted by the amount of memory available on discs or on consoles. When you stream graphics to your screen via the Internet, you can play games with large server-size constraints when you use the cloud.
Wearable Gaming
Wearable gaming devices, such as smartwatches or glasses, allow gaming to be portable without being overly intrusive. Businesses that initially focused on fitness applications with wearable technology are now trying to include entertainment in the mix as well. Wearables are like little more than extensions of your body—they’re also like little more than your favorite game consoles.
On Demand Gaming
While it’s already possible for gamers to watch and share game streams, what about actually playing them? Video game streaming is growing more and more common, much like similar movie streaming services, and this could encourage major and small game producers to compete for gaming supremacy.
