The article “Visions of VR’s Future: 7 Reasons VR Will Change Sports Forever” written by Preston Lewis, explains that “Virtual reality is THE technology of presence because your vision is completely taken over. If the senses are busy and focused on the task at hand, then the mind isn’t thinking about the time, motivating the body to push itself to rack up points or to see the look on that zombies face when you punch it. ![]() ĭevs design gaming environments that are wondrously futuristic or shockingly realistic (depending on the game) and set up objectives and goals to tackle which leads to gamer buy-in and time dilation.
