Gaming!

So in the last 4 years I have really gotten into video games. I play mostly on my PS4 console. I play a variety of games from single player games like Assassins Creed to Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) like Destiny 2.  One gaming technology that has been interesting to play with (pun intended)  which is interactive virtual reality. My experience has been with Samsung VR headset. You plug your cell phone into it and then put on the "VR" goggles over your eyes. You are then immersed in a setting that is not the outside world but a game you chose where you interact with objects that do not really exist. One of the demo's we played was a scary haunted psych ward with several ghosts jumping out at you and even one chasing you! You are totally immersed there is literally stuff going on all around, above and depending on the game, beneath you. If you are not careful and aware of your outside surroundings you can injure yourself or those around you. So you have to be careful when using this style of VR.
