development of Virtual Reality

The new approach of most new media forms such as phones, games, and television is virtual reality. Things like the Wii already use the concept in every game design they make.

 The concept has been in play in new media for several years, but the technology was inefficient and sometimes harmful, such as the Nintendo headset made in 1990. It let you watch your games in infrared from a headset, which would give a headache in 1 hour, and could blind you in two! Other examples include the arcade games that allowed you to shoot at the screen and hit enemies or games that used to similar technology to simulate bats or golf clubs.

In my opinion, the approach to this new form of media is a little fast. The technology is still awkward and hard to use, however it will become a wonderful tool when it is perfected. Knowing this is definitely helpful for any new media designer in games as this is going to be the way of the future.
