Virtual Reality means the representation of a virtual world and may involve simulation of different sensory impressions. By using VR glasses you can see a 3D image which allows you to “enter” a virtual world and immerse yourself in it. Games played in this world are raised to a new level. The formation of the VR Challenger League already marks a major step towards official VR competition and will make gaming even more realistic in the future.
Augmented Reality (in contrast to Virtual Reality) refers to the “augmentation” of the real world, for example by means of overlays and animations on a screen. Thus, you might be looking at your actual surroundings on your smartphone via the camera lens whilst also seeing various information about specific locations or buildings. In League of Legends, important game information and game characters are overlaid on the map to become interactive components of the game. This creates a whole new dimension of gaming.
Robotics describes the concept of interaction with the physical world based on IT (Information Technology) principles. The robots are equipped with artificial intelligence based on sensors, actuators and information processing. A robot is thus an “incarnated” opponent, controlled by AI (Artificial Intelligence) or by a human who transmits the game to the real world and acts as a real-life adversary. This is certainly the most elaborate innovation, but one that is capable of lending eSport a special frisson of excitement.
