When trying to sell someone on the wonder that is virtual reality, it’s better to show than to tell. Explaining the incredible immersion that a solid virtual reality experience provides is difficult to put into words, but showing someone playing or allowing a person to play themselves is the quickest path to amazement.

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Samsung has long offered a VR headset, but one that utilizes a smartphone as its ‘brain’ and display, requiring the user to insert their handset and then remove it after they’re finished.

At this point if you’ve had a VR headset for any length of time then I’d be willing to bet that you’ve played tennis, table tennis, ping pong, or something very similar on your fancy piece of futuristic hardware. There is something oddly satisfying and mesmerizing about whacking a virtual ball with a virtual racket you control by swinging your actual hand.

Casting spells and VR motion controls go together incredibly well. Flinging fire balls, blocking projectiles with magical shields, and throwing missiles of extraordinary power feels amazing from within the immersive presence of a VR headset. The Unspoken proved that. Now with The Wizards from Carbon Studios, the game is avoiding that competitive multiplayer focus for a renewed focus on single player content and crafting a spellbinding world for players to lose themselves in instead.
