Augmented Reality Defense And Virtual Reality

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.

The game allows the player to hunker down behind various well patrolled and armed positions while reloading weapons, switching, diving and ducking. Weapons in the game's war chest include man-mounted guns, grenades, assault weapons and others. For, players often need all the assistance available when it comes to defeating the enemy.

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.

In fact, Front Defense is one of the most active, intense and realistic war games on the market. For, the experience and intensity of the WWII shooter is the first VR to use room scaling and precision tracking. As such, it allows the player to create strategic positions which are detailed by a European town which has been taken over and is being destroyed by enemy forces.

Other features include, a wide choice of weaponry including the previously mentioned grenades and firearms, dive bombers, armored cars, tanks and other heavy equipment in an effort to defeat the enemy. When it comes to the finale, the end of the game provides an opportunity for the shooter to battle a mysterious Axis super powered weapon which has left many players feeling the finale was more than climatic.

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.

The specifications of the game are that it is a one player first shooter game with leader boards. It is important before beginning play to note that the game is Windows based and compatible with Windows 7 and later. As the game is a dedicated Windows game, it will not work with other operating systems. In fact, attempting to play the game on anything other than Windows 7 or later operating system could cause irreversible damage to the game and operating system.
