Imagine having the ability to transport yourself anywhere around the world with the click of a button. You could easily be kayaking with dolphins in Costa Rica, racing against a Porsche on a racetrack in Japan, or even flung into a futuristic version of the United States.
Sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, right? Well, thanks to developments in virtual reality (VR) gaming and the advent of headsets like thePlayStation VR2, this is all possible to experience without leaving the comfort of your living room.
