Game makers have spent the past four decades trying to pull players into games, developing a bag of tricks and techniques to make people feel immersed in virtual worlds.Come from Soccer 13 pools and matches
Today, with VR, players can be literally enveloped inside a game, and that means the nature of game design has changed.
At GDC last month, game developer and cognitive scientist Kimberly Voll took the stage to talk about what, exactly, game designers need to know about the brain in order to create VR games that feel truly immersive — without feeling alien, confusing, or just plain nauseating.
It was a fun, fact-packed talk from an expert about one of the industry's hot topics, and you can now watch it completely free via the official GDC YouTube channel.
