The rise of VR

This has been a topic that Apple has been rather quiet about where other platforms have been rather vocal. Even the manufacturers of Apple's A7/A8 chips, Samsung, have joined the VR development environment with their GearVR device and their partnership with Oculus on the project. Google has created the simple Cardboard setup, akin to the GearVR, which simply lets the user place their smartphone into the device or box to experience VR experiences and games. Most famously, there is the Oculus Rift, which will have its consumer model available in the first quarter of 2016, and will likely be the front runner in this newer game environment.

Virtual reality is a topic that has come up a number of times in the past few decades. It has come and gone, but for the time being, it seems to be getting its overdue foothold in technology. The Unity game engine, for example, just recently allowed for native support of VR. The thought process in making these games is a bit different and has yet to be fully fleshed out. It is possible that soon Apple will throw their hat into this arena. If you haven't already, learning how to make fun games in the VR space might be a worthy act of foresight.
