Advancements in Game Development

Facial recognition
3D Scanning and Facial Recognition technology allows systems to create your likeness in a game (so you can create a sprite which looks like you.) You can also transfer your own expressions as well. Another thing the Intel RealSense 3D camera allows developers to create games that adapts to the emotions of the gamer by scanning 78 different points on the person’s face. For example a few grimaces at your game screen means the system would dial down the game’s difficulty instantly.
Voice recognition
Voice controlled gaming has been around for a while but the potential of using the technology in gaming systems is now a reality, computers are now able to easily recognize voice commands from the user. Not only can you turn the console on and off using this technology but you can also use voice commands to control gameplay, interact on social media, play selections from your media library or search the web all by simply talking to your gaming console.

Gesture Control
Intel RealSense allows you to play FPS (First Person Shooter) games with just a few waves of your hand. Using a 3D camera that tracks 22 separate points in your hand, gesture control allows users to connect with their gaming experience by using the natural movements of your body.
Majestic Graphics
Graphics have come a long way from the days of basic 8-bit graphics in gaming. Cutting edge advancements now allow gamers to experience games in fully rendered worlds with photo realistic textures. The ability to increase playability with higher image quality makes it seem like you’re inside the game.

High Definition Displays
Televisions with 4K capabilities (must support at least 4,000 pixels) or 4k laptops (like the Intel Lenovo Y50) started out at thousands of pounds their price have steadily declined making this format the eventual standard in the way we watch the games we play. With unbeatable colours and crispness there’s nothing else that can come close.

VR (Virtual Reality)
Though many virtual reality gaming consoles haven’t been commercially released as of yet, those developing VR headset display are poised to grant gamers a fully immersive gaming experience the likes of which nobody has seen before.

My Top Ten Games

My Top Ten Games                                       In the list below is my top ten games, these are the games I play on a regular basis and I enjoy(ed) the most . The Metro Series The Metro series is a first person post-apocalyptic survival horror game. The game has two play through modes. Spartan which makes the game action orientated and gives players more resources. The other play through style is survival where resources are limited, AI are much harder to defeat and slower reload speeds. The games' artstyle is exaggerated in the subterranean world but the creatures in the game are cartoonish.      Metro Redux Trailer Lords of the Fallen  Lords of the Fallen is a fantasy action RPG. Its difficulty level has been compared to Dark Souls and Bloodborne for its hard bosses and the rage inducing gameplay. The combat in the game is letting us have fun without pain. Even thought the game is 17 hours long its still an awesome but gruelling experience.

File Extensions

Unit 78: Digital Graphics for Computer Graphics Exercise 4  File Extensions File extensions are a string of characters attached to a filename, usually preceded by a full stop and indicating the format of the file. In Microsoft Windows the file extension name is a period that is often followed by three characters but may also be followed by one, two or four characters long.

Types of Digital Graphics

Types of Digital Graphics Raster File Formats BMP: Bitmap is a commonly used raster graphic format for saving file images. The BMP format stores colour data for each pixel in the image without compression. BMP are images used often for printable images. Bitmap Image The Pros of BMP (Bitmap) Bitmap files may translate well to dot format output devices such as printers. Pixel values may be modified individually or as large groups by altering a palette if present. The Cons of BMP (Bitmap) The images can be very large particularly if the image contains a large number of colours.  The more complex a Bitmap image is the less efficient the compression process will be. GIF: GIF or Graphics  Interchange Format. A GIF is an image file format commonly used for images on the web and also used for sprites in software programs. GIFs use lossless compression that does not degrade the quality of the image. GIFs store image data using indexed colours, meaning a nor
