Virtual reality is the future of gaming, and technology has come on in leaps and bounds over the last few years. Where once it felt like something out of a science fiction novel, VR is now commonplace and has even made its way into the world of mobile gaming. If you’re yet to sample a VR world on the move, here are some of the best places to start.
#1 Pokémon Go
The first big virtual reality hitter and still the most popular, Pokémon Go changed the gaming landscape when it was released back in 2016. Although the game is technically augmented rather than full virtual reality, the allure of catching Pokémon in the “real” world exposed more people than ever to the power of this technology. Despite its popularity, the game wasn’t flawless. In the years since its release, most of the problems have been ironed out. Pokémon Go is better now than it was during its heyday, so there’s no better time to give it a try.
#2 Online casinos
Online casinos have long been a staple of mobile gaming. There’s a special allure to being able to play classics like blackjack, roulette, and poker (not to mention spinning the slots) on the go, but virtual reality is enhancing the experience still further. Although full immersive VR casinos are quite new, they are growing in popularity. Playing real money online casino games using virtual reality immerses you in the glitz, glamour, and excitement of a real-life casino. VR ratchets the tension up, making for a thrilling experience.
#3 Dinotreck
Currently available only on IOS, Dinotreck is a mind-boggling and memorable experience. It transports players back in time and lets them walk alongside dinosaurs. Although the dinosaurs will sometimes fight, there isn’t much action or story (although the dinosaurs will sometimes fight), but the premise alone is enough. Walking through the prehistoric world is a magical experience, and the dinosaurs are well designed enough to appear real. This game is atmospheric, compelling, and has a touch of magic about it.
#4 Orbulus
It might seem slightly complex at first glance, but Orbulus is quite literally out of this world. It allows players to inhabit and explore various 360-degree photographs. If that sounds simple, don’t be fooled. You’ll be able to explore sites of cultural significance like Hong Kong harbor and New York, not to mention the surface of Mars. The latter is an obvious highlight, but Orbulus’ photo library continues to grow, expanding its virtual reality universe.
#5 Rollercoaster
Last but far from least, Rollercoaster is available on both Android and iOS and does exactly as it promises! One for thrill-seekers, it puts you in the front seat of a rollercoaster and invites you to enjoy the ride. The speed and sensation of movement are fantastic and genuinely breath-taking. Even better, the rollercoasters are situated in some incredible settings, including a tropical island and high amongst a sprawl of skyscrapers. Rollercoaster is undoubtedly the best-looking experience on the list – so much so that it will give you a touch of vertigo!
