Already out for PC are the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive, and Sony has their PlayStation VR headset poised to change the way we play consoles games later this year.
Now, 20 years later, virtual reality is coming back big, with no less than three major pieces of hardware releasing this year in an attempt to put gamers in the game like never before. In some games like Quake, Doom, and Jedi Knight (basically anything built using that engine) the results were impressive, while games like Descent that let you steer and fire your guns by merely looking in a direction were jaw-dropping. Here was this nifty pair of glasses that would turn nearly ALL of my regular 2D games into 3D and give me limited head-tracking capabilities. This was back in the day of Diamond3D cards and 3DFX daughter cards. I got my virtual feet wet back in the 90’s with a pair of Virtual IO I-Glasses. This isn’t the first time VR has tried to establish a foothold in the gaming community, but now might be the right time.
