Is VR the Future of Gaming


               The stereoscopic fantasy has enthused gamers for decades,while the technology always hampered it's  practical  development.It seems that this tech hurdle has been conquered,w/ a wave of  Gaming Companies promoting their VR headsets.Among these gaming companies,two of them stand above the rest.

Sony recently unveiled it's VR headset dubbed "Morpheus"


According to Sony's US R&D Senior Software Engineer,Anton Mikhailvo in a interview conducted by Digitaltrends .Mikhailvo said "We’ve been doing VR for this project for about three years, so we definitely started before Oculus was even funded"

          Morpheus is intended to be paired up w/ the Playstation's Camera for a combination of motion tracking,and Visual immersion. Sony seems to be capitalizing on the popularity of PS4,which Sony hopes can cascade it's headsets in the VR market.A VR market ripe w/ competition,mostly from Oculus Rift(recently acquired by Facebook)

Everyday there's another company entering the VR market,hopefully healthy competition will inspire innovation.They're too many variables at this moment,to say VR is the future,but hopefully it's a branch that will lead to the future of gaming.
