ORIGIN PC Is Ready for VR Technology
October 29, 2015 | By Anthony
Virtual reality has been considered the next frontier in gaming for years, but the attempts to bring it to the mainstream have not been entirely successful, relegating the technology mostly to theme parks. It wasn’t until the early 2000s that the technology started to make inroads, thanks to advancements like Google Street View and, more recently, Oculus VR and its currently in development Oculus Rift headset set to be released early next year.
Virtual reality brings games to new life, as it places users within an environment where they feel like they’re there. With devices like the Oculus Rift or the Valve Vive headset, turning your head in one direction will make whatever character you’re playing as turn in the same direction, vastly improving a gaming experience.
With all of the modern VR technology, the hardware demands to efficiently run the software requires a tremendous amount of power to push the high framerates and ensure there is no delay. Some of these VR kits require a graphics card capable of pushing out 1080p graphics at a minimum of 75fps. The Valve Vive, for example, uses a 1080p display running at 90fps, demands that simply would not be feasible on a standard PC.
