The rise of virtual reality games can already be seen in the market. New technology has made it possible for players to experience the game itself.

To go beyond just watching the screen and controlling the character. With virtual reality, you become the character itself.

ou move and the character in the game moves as well. With a VR headset, you can have a wider view of the scene in the game.

There are different angles and directions to be explored instead of a fixed view. 

Similar to virtual reality, augmented reality is more than the boundaries of the screen. It brings together the virtual world and the real world together.

In a way that was never expected, augmented reality was able to combine both of them in a seamless way. The games using this technology still require a screen but they also consider the aspects of the physical world.

The most famous example of this type of game is Pokémon Go. This game had everyone on their toes trying to catch a rare Pokémon.

The player can only catch a Pokémon when they find it on their path. The map of the game was connected with a real map, so the places and spots on the map correspond with real life.
