Jack describes his episode:

For my individual topic I want to do an examination of virtual and augmented reality gaming. I was thinking about structuring it into three sections, the first being a little overview of VR and AR along with how the technology has progressed since its first use in gaming in the early 1990s. Then for the second section I’ll examine the current state of VR gaming and technology and its hardware/software limitations. In this I’ll talk about the features and differences between the leaders of modern VR gaming, such as the Oculus rift, sony's playstation vr or HTC’s vive. Lastly, for the third section I’ll talk about the potential direction and applications VR gaming could have in the future and some potential technological advances that could increase VR’s popularity such as an affordable haptic bodysuit.
