Virtual Reality And Augmented Reality Defense

By Jason Cole


When it comes to war games, virtual reality is now taking on themes which relate to past world events. For example, Front Defense is an augmented reality defense game based on, and puts players in the middle of, World War II. As such, it is important that those planning on playing this game understand that is more graphic and violent than most.

During the initial stages of the game, the invasion involving Normandy is over and firefights have just started in a fictional European town. At which point, Front Defense puts the player, an Allied Forces hero in the middle of the action to fight off ongoing attacks. While it is a minor battle at first, the action intensifies over the course of the game.

Very realistic in style and scope, the game allows the player to hide out behind various well armed and patrolled positions while ducking, diving, switching and reloading weapons. The weapons include everything from grenades to man-mounted guns and assault rifles. For, when it comes to defeating the enemy, players often need help from as many different resources as possible.

The developers and designers clearly have knowledge as to the history associated with the war. For, the game reflects the sense of actually being an active member of a military unit during that time. In order to achieve this goal, the designers used battlefield and room scaling to create a number of scenes which are close in comparison to various areas in which these battles took place.

Front Defense is rated as one of the most realistic, active and intense war games currently available. For, the intensity and player experience as the WWII shooter is the first virtual reality game to use scaling in a way to recreate actual scenes from history. In addition, the precision tracking used during point and shoot experiences allows the player to create strategic positions.

Other features include being able to use a wide variety and style of weaponry from heavy firearms and grenades to lighter ones. A player can also use dive bombers, tanks and armored cars in an effort to defeat opposing forces. With one of the most dramatic plays being to take on a mysterious Axis super powered weapon during the final minutes of the game, the finale is often considered more than climatic among gamers worldwide.

While these games have often been controversial, especially by the conservative far religious right, there is no proof that playing such games results in violent behavior of players later in life. In fact, if anything, the games can be a good method of stress relief to help avoid individuals becoming stressed to the point of road rage, or other such incidents. At the same time, it is important to note that the game does include graphically violent scenes of war and to monitor and supervise players under the age of 16.

Front Defense is Windows based starting with Windows release 7 and subsequent releases. It is important to note that the game is not compatible with any release up and until Windows 7. When it comes to graphics, the game has a NVIDIA graphics interface with 12GM RAM, thus providing some of the most colorful, detailed and dramatic scenes in the VR first shooter market.
