Virtual reality (VR) gaming offers individuals a three-dimensional (3D) environment to experience during a game. It includes 3D images that can be explored interactively on computing devices using a touchscreen mouse and keys. Nowadays, more immersive and sophisticated versions of these games, which involve wraparound displays, VR headsets and VR rooms with wearable computers and other sensory components, are readily available in Europe.
360-degree videos that allow users to watch through every angle, along with an option to rotate and pan as per the requirement, are gaining traction among the young population. This, in confluence with the escalating demand for realistic gaming experiences, represents one of the key factors bolstering the VR gaming market growth in Europe. Apart from this, leading companies are investing in research and development (R&D) activities to launch advanced products and expand their existing consumer base in the region. For instance, VR Electronics Limited, a UK-based company, recently introduced a full-body VR suit and software suite to improve movement, reflexes and instincts of the mind and the body.
