While the technology of virtual reality opens the door to all kinds of possibilities when it comes to games, the biggest question is whether developers will be interested in this idea? After all we have seen different types of technology come and go in the past decades, so you could Virtual Reality technology fail as smartphones failed tri-dimensional?
The good news is that developers are showing their interest in the growing Virtual Reality technology. In a poll conducted by the Foundation Game Developers Conference, which included about 2,000 developer, it turns out that nearly a fifth of these developers actually working on the development of virtual reality games. To be more specific, this study found that 16% of these developers are working on the development of virtual reality games, and this represents a very substantial increase compared with last year when it became clear that only 7% of the developers who are developing new games for Virtual Reality.
He said 15% of the other developers that their games will be coming to the virtual reality devices, and this is what is again more than double last year's survey, when only 7% of developers said they are interested in the establishment of their games to the next virtual reality devices. As for the platforms, which is not surprising, he said the majority of developers (19%) said they are working on the games compatible with helmet Oculus Rift.
And 8% of them said that they are working on games for Gear VR helmet from Samsung, while 7% of other developers said they are working on games for the helmet Google Cardboard. It accounted for all of the Playstation VR and HTC Vive only about 6%. Of course, the growing interest of developers Virtual Reality technology, can lead to an increased awareness of this technology to the end-consumers, especially those that are looking for the purchase of products that have the maximum amount of content.
