VR gaming is the term used to describe a new generation of computer games with virtual reality (VR) technology that gives 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, specialized game consoles, or using advanced laptops and PCs that can power the leading VR headsets such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive.
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. There are individual virtual reality games and multi-player, online virtual reality games. Some VR games place players in physical combat environments, while others involve less confrontational pursuits, such as auto racing and acrobatic flying. Other VR games challenge players – either alone or with others – to solve problems, move objects, or explore new places. VR Games on Pcs and Laptops: Games played on high-end computers provide the most detailed virtual environments and game options. Popular VR headsets for PCs and laptops in late 2018 include Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and our own Lenovo VR headset, Lenovo Explorer.
VR Games on Smartphones: For mobile VR gaming, smartphone
manufacturers are introducing their own headsets, controllers and games (VR, AR, and MR). One such headset/platform is the Gear VR.
VR Games on Game Consoles: These games are similar to those
played on PCs but work only with game consoles from specific manufacturers. A leading example is the PlayStation VR headset/platform.

VR Gaming Gloves: Sensor-equipped VR gaming gloves have enabled a new level of detail in today's newest VR games. Whereas VR motion detectors can sense broad, whole-body movements, VR gloves enable the detection of minute hand and finger movements, allowing developers to create a new generation of VR games that ask players to pick up small items, grasp and carry objects, and so on. The best VR games 1. Microsoft Flight Simulator
Even without a VR headset, the stunning views and
meticulously detailed aircraft of this flight sim are simply delicious to experience. But adding VR into the mix makes it all better.
With the first-person viewpoint offered by your
helmet, you can examine all the buttons and switches up close, and gain an extra level of immersion as you take off and land at airports around the world, fly through the clouds (which are dynamically altered in real-time according to global weather reports) and admire the landscapes below. If that sounds a bit overwhelming to you, then you'll be glad that the game lets you tailor how much of your plane's controls are automatically or manually controlled. If you want something more relaxing, you can just let the game take care of the hard stuff for you and enjoy flying around. But if you want to feel like an actual pilot, then you can take off the training wheels and tinker to your heart's content.
