Video gamers are using AI since 1951 when developers created programs for Chess. But, it became popular in a 1997 chess match when IBM’s Deep Blue beat the world champion, Gary Kasparov.

By now, AI and machine learning have become accessible to almost everyone. Some developers are training AI to play games, with the potential to transfer those skills to the real world. This means that we are using the artificial intelligence of video games to train more AI.

AI creates the behaviour that controls what the characters in the video game are going to do. You can see AI at work in the game when you pick off one non-playable character and its fellow supporters become alert and anxious.

They can even determine your location on the map. In the following year, developers will start using more of this revolutionary technology to develop new AI-based systems and gadgets.

Augmented reality

Augmented Reality (AR) integrates the game’s visual and audio content with a user environment in real-time. This technology is bridging the gap between developers and gamers.

It has gone beyond the face filters and is widely adopted by organizations that want to provide an ultimate gaming experience to their customers.

The rapid growth of AR is helping companies to develop more engaging games and is also contributing to the growth of the overall gaming market.

Every time AR technology has exceeded the expectations and beaten the estimates of experts by contributing something really great to the gaming world. It really brings something creative and innovative in the market every single time.

With the enhanced gaming experience offered by Pokémon GO, it has won the hearts of millions of players around the world.

The augmented reality gaming market is expected to reach $284.93 billion by the end of 2023. AR is changing the gaming world at a rapid pace and it will continue to do so in the future.

3D technology has become the norm in the gaming industry. We all like to explore 3D objects in the virtual world. Looking at the current trend, there are only a few games developed with 3D technology and they come with limitations.

On the other hand, developers have already started using this technology to offer an enhanced gaming experience.

Currently, 3D compatible glasses are needed to explore the world in 3D games. More games will be developed by using the technology in the coming years.

In fact, developers will try to offer a realistic environment as a part of the gameplay. They are working to create a gaming environment on a big screen which will make things even more realistic.
