Gaming

The evolution of computer graphics has been incredible. Not too long ago, people were still looking at very basic 2 dimensional objects on screens with low resolution.  With the tremendous growth in the field of computer graphics, the same games have become hundred times better with high resolution. Computer graphics has helped kids characters come to life and bring a new level of excitement into their lives.

We see one of the first online games, doom, as the first stepping stone into what is now massive online gameplay. Doom was made to play online with other people back when dial up internet technology was present. From there we have moved to having thousands to millions of players online. World of Warcraft alone boasts more than 10 million players. From computer gaming we moved onto created console gaming as there was such a demand for it. Now they are so ingrained in our society that the NSA even spies on them, as Chris Morris mentions in his blog, "
The 82-page document suggests that government agencies have long been concerned that terrorists or criminal groups could use virtual worlds to 'hide in plain sight'"

Console gaming is by far one of the most popular types of gaming. With games like halo and call of duty being the front runners of the industry. As we’ve gone through the years we have moved from 2D games to 3d games. Players are now able to see individual blades of grass and bullets piecing walls.

The next frontier is actually making the player experience the action of the game. Oculus makes a headset that actually makes you feel like you are in the game. It is a excting new field and im curious to see where it goes.
