Sales from the global gaming industry have reached over $125 billion in 2018. This reflects upon how gaming has developed and how technology has been largely influential on gaming needs, wants, and preferences, especially in video games. 

Playing a game has been defined as an activity that propagates an increased functioning of the brain and helps you practice cognitive skills and release serotonin, the happy chemical. With the advancement of technologies, the allure and thrill of playing online games have certainly increased with improved creativity, visual stimulus, and satisfaction. 

Senet, the first board game was found in 3100 BC, and today in 2020, we have witnessed the advent of virtual gaming with improved features such as facial recognition, gesture control technology, and more. In just a few decades, the industry has undergone a considerable change, both on the cultural and technological front. Moreover, the change's pace is gradually accelerating, with the help of improved video graphics and advancements. 

How are video graphics altering the realm of online games?

Today, video games have come a long way since the time they crossed into the realm of the mainstream in the year 1980s'. The primary aim of advanced video graphics and AI is not to develop a more dynamic, interesting game and offers a realistic game experience. Instead, AI researchers are using games as a way of benchmarking the intelligence level of specific software.

Moreover, this is because the virtual world and the strict reward and rules are a specifically useful environment that helps you train software.

Here is how video graphics and its technological advancement in the field are altering online games: 

The advent of 3D graphics: 

The world has certainly come a long way from the age-old days of basic 8-bit graphics in the sphere of gaming. Today, cutting edge advancements are allowing gamers to experience games in a completely newly rendered world with improved photo-realistic textures. The dire ability to increase playability with an imposed higher image quality offers a real feel and makes you feel like you are not playing it virtually but in real life.

Bright and quality graphics have been successful in bringing in an enhancement in the world of online games. The smallest elements in the game look quite realistic, and there is no doubt on how the games are attracting more players. This is because they enjoy the vibrant and colorful online gaming world. Gaming companies today create and make use of virtual reality to attract potential players' attention while enhancing the gaming experience. 

Artificial Intelligence creating a new world: 

Every player today can enjoy the adventure with the help of a new reality. As technology continues to evolve, it provides players with a more exciting opportunity to play with peers and friends. Moreover, it also eliminates the hassle to play as the robot is paired to play with you if you are busy and unable to play. 

Facial and speech recognition: 

The present times is witnessing the dire need to protect information and safeguard one's privacy. This need has increased the demand for protecting one's data even while playing online games. New technology and graphics beneficial for speech and face recognition now eliminate storing personal game data. The technique is largely crucial when it comes to the realm of online gaming. 

Voice recognition: 

Stop worrying if you feel too lazy to pick up the controller. Voice-controlled gaming now has been prevalent for a while, and the potential to use the technology has caught up to reality. This is making computers to recognize voice commands easily from the user. This enables players to turn the console as per one's convenience and use voice commands and control the gameplay. 

Final Thoughts:

With such commendable gaming graphics, you are entering a new realm of Ultra 4K gaming. Make sure you have a bona fide way to show off the graphic of your video game. The future of online gaming looks very promising with new virtual reality accessories that efficiently complement augmented reality and make gaming feel as real as ever—these graphical advances in tech promise to make the future a lot brighter.

ZLUDA v2 Released For Drop-In CUDA On Intel Graphics - Phoronix

Image
One of many interesting and original open-source projects to be started in 2020 was ZLUDA, an open-spurce drop-in CUDA implementation for Intel graphics. ZLUDA - developed independent of Intel and NVIDIA - is built atop Intel's oneAPI Level Zero interface (hence the name, ZLUDA) and allows for unmodified CUDA applications to run on Intel UHD/Xe Graphics hardware with near-native performance. Well, that's the goal at least but with the initial ZLUDA release were a number of support limitations. Out today is ZLUDA Version 2 that has been focused on ensuring it works well with the Geekbench CUDA test cases as an interesting stressor for CUDA on Intel graphics. Additionally, the Microsoft Windows support for ZLUDA has been improved while continuing to provide first-rate Linux support. ZLUDA Version 2 implements more host-side functions, a number of bugs have been fixed, I/O performance improvements, support for creating traces of CUDA kernel executions, and other enhancements for...

Google chrome crashed and now laptop is running very slowly. Malware? - Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Help - BleepingComputer

Image
Hello, My Huawei laptop is not very old and has been working perfectly until yesterday. Google Chrome crashed and now it takes longer to start up, and neither chrome or Microsoft edge work properly (very slow and keep buffering). My avast anti virus has not found anything when I scanned, but I can't think what else the problem can be. I tried some of the steps in the post about a slow computer not being a malware problem but nothing changed, and since I don't have very much installed on my laptop I don't think it can be a problem with memory. Any help in fixing this would be very much appreciated. I have attached my log here; Rachel Scan result of Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) (x64) Version: 15-04-2022 Ran by Rachel (administrator) on LAPTOP-AJP0U36V (HUAWEI BOHB-WAX9) (17-04-2022 16:11:18) Running from C:\Users\Rachel\Downloads Loaded Profiles: Rachel Platform: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language Version 21H2 19044.1645 (X64) Language: ...
