Virtual Reality Gaming Has Finally Come

Virtual Reality Gaming Has Finally Come

Every gamer has once had a childhood dream where they could slide on a helmet and play in a virtual world. They want to feel an actual weapon in their hands, and see the monsters they battle, as if it were actually attacking them. For gamers, video games were always a place where they could escape reality and pretend to be a part of another world. As advanced as technology already is, virtual reality was still considered a far fetched dream. Gamers and their imaginations were confined to their consoles and their television screens.

Many great companies have tried to accomplish the goal of virtual reality gaming. Some have had success, but there has yet to be one that has been able to fully immerse all the human senses into gaming.

For the Summer of 2016, a company called, The Void, has set forth to finally create a form of virtual reality entertainment that will fully immerse the senses of a player. They plan to open their first Virtual Entertainment Center in Utah.

The companies vision is to create the future of entertainment. A whole new experience from movies and even video gaming. Their centers will be a digital theme park where people can see, move, and feel the adventures of a limitless virtual world - whether the world be fighting in intergalactic wars or casting spells in the darkest of dungeons.

The Void wants to create an experience that is similar to the process of the movie theatre. Customers will purchase tickets for a a specific showtime, and than enter a room where they will put on their virtual reality gear. The gear consists of a computer backpack that will allow them to roam around the virtual world untethered, a virtual reality headset that will bring you to a portal into the virtual world and a hand held item based on the storyline. The company also plans to release content every quarter of every year much like movie theatres.

To produce original content the company will create a video game division called Void Games, which will also help to integrate third party developers. Once their first Virtual Reality Entertainment Center is ready to be commercialized, they plan on developing centers all over the world. After a wide enough network is built, The Void believes that their brand will become a new entertainment platform that will sit along the lines with Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, and etc.

In Summer 2016 video gamers and their imaginations will no longer be confined to their consoles and television screens. Our childhood dreams of running around in a virtual world will finally come. I don't know about you guys, but I'm already planning a road trip to Utah.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
