The next era of Virtual Reality (VR) is sweeping the gaming industry like never before. There are, however, many unanswered questions regarding VR like how the apps will look like? How they will work and whether they will resemble the games played on the current console. It is also not known whether VR will be an exploration place to experience and marvel or environments to play in.<\/p>\n
