Chapter 7 - VR / AR

What is VR / AR / MR? - Luke Meredith


When looking into different reality's you have your own eye sight which captures the real world. But in today's modern technology we have different types of ways to explore new things differently. VR meaning virtual reality meaning everything in our view is now digital. 

AR meaning Augmented reality is the mix of realities. A mix of real life and a digital world and uses digital information into the real world, Pokémon GO would be an example of this. 

MR is Mixed reality is the mixing of real life and virtual worlds. In this reality, digital and physical objects co-exists and will interact in real time


Virtual Reality- Virtual Reality is our virtual world. But it is so much more than that. It is one of the most recent groundbreaking parts of technology, with big companies such as Sony, Meta (formally Facebook) and Valve. Have all had their say in VR and are producing bigger and better every release they make making it a lot better for the gaming industry to make full immersive 360 degree game play. Or for colleges and schools to learn more about mechanics or the human body and being able to look into these scientific researches in simulation.



Augmented Reality - Augmented Reality is also a very popular use, mainly found on smaller devices such as your mobile phone. One of the best examples of Augmented reality would be the craze of Pokémon Go back in 2016 where Pokémon came to life in the real world. But it can also be used to find information on your area, making it more useful than for just gaming. It can tell you where you are, via location and what is around you. 


Mixed Reality - Mixed reality is a blend of both real life and virtual living, an example of this would be Snapchat filters, where you can alter your face or your surroundings with a filter. Some companies would use it to show furniture fittings in the buyers house to get a feel for it. 



Conclusion

As you can see, there are so many uses for all these different types of realities if it is for personal entertainment, learning for schools or for bringing new ideas to life. The mix of all these new realities will have a major impact on our world sooner than you think. Possibly bringing new, better and greater things into our world from theirs

Game Brainstorm

 In this blog post I will give 4 ideas for games I would like to develop For my first idea I would take inspiration from games Pummel Party, Mario party and other real life board games. These games are based around mini games and to reach a end goal to get to the end of the board or get to the most amount of currency or some type of object in a certain amount of turns. These are my favourite types of games to play but will be hard to pull off to the amount of work that I will have to put into it to get all the mechanics working the way I do but I believe I can make it work in a much more simple form as I will describe below The idea of my first game will be 3D board game where the objective is to move through the board avoiding traps. You will move through the board using some sort of chance of luck form, like a wheel spin or a roll of a dice. It would be single player as getting it mulitplayer would be extremely hard to get working. The colour scheme I have in my head for this idea is

 Hey everyone my name is Luke, I am 19 years old and I was born in Dublin Ireland. I currently live in Finglas and I attend TUD Blanchardstown for my education. I am studying Creative Digital Media and I am currently in my second year. A little about myself. I enjoy playing football and I support Liverpool FC. I have brown hair and blue eyes, so I am basically the perfect human being. I am a very social person and love going on a night out with my friends from work and college. But my average day consists of going out with friends during the week, shopping  or getting food or just overall enjoying my day and then my weekends consists of my part-time job in McDonalds during the morning and then having the evening to myself. I enjoy playing video games such as GTA, Rocket League, FIFA, or The PS5 Spiderman games. These games have a somewhat intensity to them and I like that it keeps me alert and aware. Video games have a big part of my life as I grew up playing nintendo and then onto xbo
