We live in a world filled with products of mass culture and its brightest representatives are cinema and video games. No matter which genre you like the most, you've definitely come across science fiction. And the further this direction develops in time, the more often the topic of virtual reality arises in it. If you have watched the movies "Tron", "Gamer" or played the game "Cyberpunk 2077", then you are probably familiar with the concept of virtual reality. But what if we tell you that everything that is shown on the screen is already possible in real life? Let's puzzle it out step by step.

In simple terms, virtual reality in general and virtual reality games in particular is a technology that immerses the user in a digital space so that it seems real to them. The distinctive features of this direction of games are the presence of special equipment (VR glasses, controllers) and free space around the player, because unlike classic video games, they needs to actively move and react to what is happening not only by moving his fingers on the keyboard or gamepad, but also with their whole body. Most interesting games are virtual reality projects. One of the most famous examples of the embodiment of a traditional and very interesting game was the Half-Life: Alyx, which once made a splash in the video game market due to the cult status of the original game, a huge fan base and the skillful immersion of the player in what is happening around him.

The principle of VR systems functioning is based on the fact that specially designed lenses allow you to change the position and format of the image on the display for the user's eyes in such a way as to create the effect of presence in the virtual world. The main goal of the technologies used in the creation of VR devices is to create the most plausible imitation of the surrounding world and immerse a person in it. In addition, it is very important that the virtual world reacts to the user's actions. Sophisticated optics and motion capture technology will be used to achieve this effect. It is on such principles that VR helmets and some types of controllers work.

At this stage of technology development, most virtual reality helmets are made in the form of glasses. They have built-in one or more displays, a system for tracking the position of the device in space, as well as a complex lens system that allows you to adjust the image for a more realistic perception. Motion tracking systems are based on magnetometers, gyroscopes and accelerometers.

However, it is one thing to see what is happening in front of you and around you during the interesting game and quite another to actively participate in it. Such interaction is provided by special controllers. All this equipment you can find in the ANVIO VR Club in São Paulo.

Although the entertainment industry has a huge impact on our lives, other aspects of our daily activities, namely education, tourism, and sports, do not disappear anywhere. With the help of immersion in virtual reality, you can learn new skills and gain new knowledge without having to spend a lot of money and time on it. As a vivid example, you can pay attention to such interesting virtual reality games as The Thrill of the Fight - VR Boxing, which immerses you in the world of professional boxing, and with the help of VR Museum of Fine Art, users can visit museums around the world without even getting up from a comfortable chair.

Thanks to VR technology, you can become anyone and go anywhere without even leaving your room or, even better, from a specially equipped VR club, which has everything for a comfortable stay and a pleasant pastime, such as the ANVIO VR club in São Paulo at Av. Jandira, 742 – Moema São Paulo, SP – 04080-004 Brasil. Here you can enjoy a whole range of great virtual reality games: City Z I, City Z: Survivors, Station Zarya. These virtual adventures are so popular that players add a few more hours just to keep getting new portions of adrenaline and unforgettable emotions.

The prospects for the development of VR technologies are closely linked to artificial intelligence and machine learning, as they make virtual reality games more realistic, which helps the industry to be attractive to users.

Companies will use machine learning to improve the accuracy of engineering modeling in virtual reality, which will make it easier for engineers to test and refine designs. As for ordinary users, in addition to the rapidly developing gaming industry, social VR technologies will make a big leap, on the basis of which special platforms and entire virtual worlds will be created, allowing people from different parts of the world to feel each other's closeness at a previously unattainable level.

The future of VR can no longer be called hazy. This technology is becoming increasingly popular around the world and every day there are fewer and fewer people who are not personally familiar with it. More and more interesting games are released every day. Not only the quality of the devices themselves for virtual reality immersion is improving, but also their accessibility to the general public. In particular, the ANVIO VR Club in São Paulo is always ready to open the door to a high-tech and exciting world for you.
