Famed filmmaker Steven Spielberg has looked into his crystal ball and has seen whatās to come: Virtual reality gaming. Itās the 1980s all over again!
āNow weāre all playing at home and someday weāll be playing directly on our TV sets, bypassing all of the platforms,ā says Spielberg. The director, who says heās a PC gamer more than anything else, wants to see 3D games developed for āa real three-dimensional experienceā.
āAnd after that, will certainly be virtual reality, which just like 3D came and went in the 1950s, and now itās here to stay in movies,ā he continues. āI really think virtual reality, which experimentally came and went in the eighties, is going to be redeveloped, just like 3D is being redeveloped today, and thatās going to be the new platform for our gaming future.ā
For the director, home consoles will go āthe way of the Dodo birdā.
