Blog Post #7: Diffusion of Ideas

 VR has been absolutely exploding recently. Not only has this been seen in the gaming sphere, but also the world and movie scenes. The NBA has introduced a free service for Meta's Horizon Venues platform that allows anyone with the proper hardware to "sit courtside" and watch an NBA game. Your digital avatar will appear courtside and you will be able to watch live NBA games. Not only does this already exist for NBA games, Meta (formerly Facebook) is hoping to expand their reach into WWE as well as English Premier League soccer matches. While watching a game virtually, you will be able to see and interact with other peoples digital avatars.

Not only is VR exploding in the corporate world, but it is booming even more in the gaming scene. Some projections have the VR market growing from $7.92 Billion in 2021 to $53.44 Billion by 2028. One of the main advancements that is going hand in hand with VR's increasing popularity is cloud gaming. Cloud gaming in the next step in "next-gen" gaming. Cloud gaming is a type of "on-demand" gaming that allows the user to essentially stream a game to their console or PC. This makes it so that the user does not need to install the game on their local system in order to play it.
