  • The future of gaming lies in virtual reality, with SlotSource.co.uk offering top four tips on how to start your VR experience
  • Keyword ‘virtual reality in gaming’ saw an increase of +100% in the UK in the past 12 months 

The future of gaming has long been predicted to lie within virtual reality , and with Meta paving the way towards a virtual future, software and gaming developers are not trailing far behind.

In the UK, the search term ‘virtual reality gaming’ saw an increase of +100%   over the past 12 months1, and according to Statista.com, virtual reality is set to boost GDP by over £16 million in the UK by 20302.

But as interest in the virtual experience increases, how can you achieve the best virtual gaming experience? A good gaming experience often requires a set of different equipment, and SlotSource.co.uk has collated four top tips of things you need to be fully immersed in the virtual world!

1. Invest in a VR headset

Regardless of the game you wish to play in the virtual world, you will have to start off with a VR headset. A good VR headset can range from £200 to £980, depending on the brand and type. Certain VR headsets use twin displays to ensure that the eyes of the user are not strained after a gaming session, making the experience better for the gamer.

2. Consider Touch controllers

By communicating with the VR headset, the touch controllers recreate your hands in the virtual universe, making for an even better gaming experience. The controllers let you point, grab and use the virtual hands as if they’re your own. .

3. Make sure you have the right PC, laptop or console

Whatever VR headset you decide on needs to be connected to a pc, laptop or console, or even a smartphone, but it is recommended to use your laptop or computer, so that everything can be powered properly during your gaming experience.

4. You’ll need fast broadband!

A good VR experience requires a strong internet connection. No gaming experience should ever be interrupted by bad Wi-Fi, so make sure you have a good internet connection that connects to your VR equipment.

Transitioning from your gaming console to a virtual world can be a costly affair, with all the equipment having to be purchased in advance to have an immersive gaming experience. But once you’ve got a full set, there’s nothing holding you back from spending as much time as you want in the virtual world!

Which virtual games are already available?

While the virtual world is in constant development, there are some software- and gaming developers who already offer a VR experience, from Beat Saber, available on PlayStation VR, Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality on Stream/HTC Vive, to virtual casinos. Whatever you choose to play, once you have the equipment, you can visit multiple gaming worlds, from different softwares and gaming developers!

Commenting on the future of virtual gaming, a spokesperson at SlotSsource.co.uk says, “We’re excited to see where the future takes virtual gaming, and whether the equipment needed will decrease in price so that every household can have the chance of spending some time in the virtual verse!”
