VR gaming is the term used to describe a new generation of computer games that use virtual reality (VR) to give players a truly immersive, first-person perspective of game action. Participants both experience and influence the game environment through a variety of VR gaming devices and accessories, including VR headsets, sensor-equipped gloves, hand controllers and more.
Virtual reality games can be played on standalone systems, on specialized game consoles, or using advanced laptops and PCs that can power the leading VR headsets such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Lenovo Explorer.
There are subsets of virtual reality gaming that use related technologies called augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR), where virtual elements are placed into the player's real world as viewed through a headset or camera. Lenovo Explorer uses the Windows Mixed Reality platform which, though still quite VR-focused, is expected to introduce new mixed/augmented reality experiences.
There are individual virtual reality games and multi-player, online virtual reality games. Some VR games (which for purposes of this FAQ include games based on VR, AR and/or MR) place players in physical combat environments, while others involve less confrontational pursuits such as auto racing and acrobatic flying. Still other VR games challenge players -- either alone or with others -- to solve problems, move objects, or explore new places.
VR gaming laptops and VR-ready gaming towers are widely popular platforms for VR gaming. But there are different kinds of VR gaming depending on the type of computing device being used:
There are also standalone VR products such as the Lenovo Mirage Solo that provide less detailed but still entertaining VR gaming experiences.
The thrill of VR gaming comes from its first-person viewpoint and each player's ability to manipulate the virtual environment. Unlike regular video games where the perspective is typically from behind and/or slightly above the player's character, VR gamers often feel like they're seeing the action directly from their character's eyes.
This unique perspective and playability is primarily achieved using the advanced VR headsets or goggles that are part of nearly every VR gaming experience. For additional input and control, a variety of add-on devices may be used to translate the player's real-life movements into on-screen action.
Here are some typical VR gaming devices and peripherals:
We offer a full line of Lenovo gaming accessories; the ones listed here are just a few of the many on the market today. There are also specialized mice and pointing devices, steering wheels and accelerators for racing games -- even VR treadmills that sense and transmit how fast and far you're walking or running.
