Games | Video Games In The Future

With video game technology advancing so rapidly and so far from where it first started, one cannot help but to entertain the idea and be curious of where video games is going to go from here. After all, that is part of a larger creative process. One of the earliest video games that we can recall is Commodore's 'Pong'. But never did we imagine that the industry would have reached the point where it is today.

Ideas For Future Video Games

One thing is for sure; however, and that is the gaming industry is pushing full force ahead. Let us do a little fantasizing to see where our imagination and desires would take us. The following offers some ideas of what could be done short of a little thing called, 'impossible'.

We are a little intrigued with the 'Game Glasses' idea. Wearing a pair of dark sunglasses and using the technology introduced by Nintendo's Wii System, we could literally watch a game take place right before our eyes and then play and interact with it using a small device that is about the size of a pen.
Since this isn't exactly a new idea now, we are very keen and curious to watch what develops from University of South Australia's 'AR Quake' project, a springboard for this kind of gaming to develop in the very near future for sure.

Communicate With Characters Inside The Video Game

Another cool idea we like to see implemented within the gaming industry is the ability to communicate by talking to the characters inside a video game. Some games do allow players to textually speak to game characters already, but we would like to see this pushed a little further. We would like to be able to orally speak with the characters: ask questions, warn and speak to them as if we were interacting to another human being. And these characters would talk back to us! It is the ultimate artificial intelligence opportunity and although it would most likely be years before this technology would be available on a wide scale, we are sure it would be a hit and be extremely popular.

Inside A Simulated Video Gaming Environment

Will we ever reach the point where we can play inside a simulated environment the way the characters in Star Trek. Virtual reality is getting close, but the reality of the simulation is gone the moment we have to put on the weird-looking goggles and gloves. In order for simulation of this sort to succeed, there has to be as little a barrier between gamers and the game as possible. We do not what to just think we are inside a game; we really want to feel that we are inside a game. Moreover, we do not wish to have to go somewhere outside our home to do so.

Virtual Gaming World

The television or computer screen will suffice for now, but in the future, we would like to be surrounded with the elements that make gaming the wonder that it is today. We would like to transform our dens or bedrooms into a virtual alien ship or simulated jungle. In short, we want a new virtual world.

Obstacle And Concern In Gaming

One possible obstacle to bringing this fantasy or virtual reality into our living rooms is public acceptance. Would the public be ready to accept such a high level of entertainment? Immediately following Nintendo's Wii initial release, customers were ready to complain and they wanted their old controller back! So as with any new development in gaming technology, there will surely be unintended consequences and although many would favour these types of advances, we must also share concerns about the impact it would have on an audience that isn't 'virtually ready'.

We can certainly envision a few laws will be introduced that will restrict the use of our fantasy gaming. We already have some existing laws that attempt the same now and that is a good thing. The last thing we want to encounter in gaming is physical harm, especially when we are trying to enjoy virtual entertainment!
