Virtual Reality and its possible future

Throughout my childhood watching movies/series and playing video games was part of my daily routine, so anytime a new device was created that was kind of different in it use and display always cough my attention. So did VR Glasses! Since VR glasses where made and released in the market i have wondered about their evolution, and how realistic can they turn out to be in the future.

On this blog I will try to research for the possible future of VR and on going projects based on that idea.

I hope you find what i have to share interesting .

Enjoy!

What i learned through the rhetorical analysis and what will i apply on my blog:

This Rhetorical Analysis helped me understand important factors that a blog should have. The format, the pictures, the name and many more factors determine whether a reader will continue reading the website or not, or if the user can navigate easily through it. Also through that process I understood the importance of the evidence that a writer should include in his or her blog as I had to choose a trustworthy cite for my research, thus, I had to filter myself if the blog that I was reading was reliable.

For my blog I decided to research into a possible future of VR and how realistic is VR now days. My audience is anyone who would like to learn anything related to my inquiry as well as my personal thoughts on the matter. I will try to include as many links and credits as I can. I will also try to keep a simple theme with many pictures making it enjoyable for the readers. I will chose to write in a simple vocabulary as I don’t have any specific audience reading my writing style.

Here is a link to an interesting video i found that includes some very interisting facts about VR. Enjoy!
