Google is working on a virtual reality headset to take on Facebook's Oculus and Samsung's Gear VR, according to a new report. But in Google's case, the software is what's important.
Google is pushing farther into virtual reality, as it's planning a VR headset that will rival the Facebook Oculus and Samsung Gear VR, reports Tim Bradshaw of the Financial Times.
Google has shipped more than 5 million units of its Cardboard headset that uses sensors and a smartphone to provide an introductory virtual reality experience. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg suspects it's the next big thing.
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.
Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.
It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.

More supporters and backers the better.
It's time to have more optional ways to view content and not just the old way we have been using for over 35 years.
What's the point of developers making rich,3D polygonal content if it's only going to be viewed in 2D on a screen? What's the point of making an FPS game or camera view if you don't get to SEE it from YOUR point of view?
It's time for more companies and more options.And cardboard was a great starting point.
I think it's a fair assumption to say that all these big players are or have seen the potential scope and beneficial application of VR to the industry that maybe even we Haven't seen or envisioned! This IMO is not something that developers would consistently and wholeheartedly funnel countless time with research and development and countless money of this scale into, unless they've seen the bigger picture of an undertaking like this.
This is far bigger than the likes of the PS Move, Microsofts Kinects or motion controls in general. This is entirely on a different level of its own.
These different players are insistent on making VR succeed and at a great cost! We haven't seen this level of support even when the introduction of 3D was imminent!
I think VR is destined to succeed whether some want it to or not.
There's a few things that many people may not be thinking about VR "presence" increase development for VR is heading to the point is or will soon allow those with VR Headset's being able to study areas that may be dangerous for you to be directly there , but allows the VR user to observe the area .
example: doctor's and scientific community, could observe with higher VR "presences" would allow the observer with in the case of gunshot wounds in the human body be able to remove bullets out of the body of a wounded with a much greater chance to avoid the wounded with more damage to the area than already is. Example its the difference in paralysis or longer healing.
Some may say how?
Well Doctors having a 1st view of a remote camera or 3D volume of space around the damaged area in real time would allow the Doctors or science community's ability to make further advancements to allow the Doctor's even better ways to tackle such problems. But by investing further in such VR technology would allow you better situational awareness of such areas of body damaged places that need such high precise view in any surgery procedure that is going to tell the Doctor's & surgeon the requirements in such a situation to make best use of procedure to the area to allow lesson the damage or prolong Damage to the recipient.
