Epson Announces Next-Gen Augmented Reality Smart Glasses Built to Revolutionize Gaming, Video Entertainment, and More

Epson announced today its second generation Moverio "smart glasses" with a combination of new features geared to transform how consumers experience games, video entertainment and the world around them.

Sporting a sleek, light design, the Epson Moverio BT-200 is a true binocular display using a miniaturized LCD-based projection lens system and optical light guide in each side of the glasses. The Moverio platform's advanced binocular optical system projects see-through overlays of digital content onto the real-world in the center of the smart glasses' field of view. Enabling a seamless blend of the physical and digital world, the Moverio BT-200 technology platform makes a new world of augmented reality applications possible for consumers as well as commercial enterprises.

The Moverio BT-200 projects a stereoscopic virtual display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 23-degree field of view. A 360-degree panoramic experience is possible through third-party software that takes advantage of the glasses' head-tracking features. For optimum viewing privacy, Moverio's projection system features unique light guide angles which prevent other people from viewing the projected content.

CD Projekt RED’s Witcher 2 Follow-Up Revealed: Cyberpunk 2077

After the international success of The Witcher 2, acclaimed developer CD Projekt RED looks to start another series with Cyberpunk 2077.

Today, PC game developer CD Projekt RED announced that for the time being, their popular Witcher franchise is being given a short hiatus while they delve into the Cyberpunk future with a new title called Cyberpunk 2077. With that being said, it should be noted that Cyberpunk 2077 is being developed by a second team within CD Projekt RED so additional Witcher content is still being produced alongside this new franchise.

According to their official announcement, the gameplay of Cyberpunk 2077 will closely follow that of The Witcher series with an action RPG style and (as usual) mature subject matter. CD Projekt RED actually signed an exclusivity deal with the Cyberpunk creaters so expect 2077 to be just the tip of the iceberg.

Taking place in Night City, this game will supposedly immerse players in a sandbox environment within a technologically advanced world where character customization will be key to survival. Naturally, there will be several character classes to choose from but the combat system will be unique: it is loosely based upon the tabletop Cyberpunk games but updated to real-time gameplay. That should prove to be an interesting concept which will use the upgraded RED Advanced game engine so expect some stunning visuals.

How to Get Headshots – Perfection Training

Getting headshots in Counter-Strike, DOD, COD4 or even TF2 doesn’t come easy. It takes years of practice, a fast machine capable of providing smooth game play and finally… skill. Yet, even then, there are guys who seem to have all of the above and still can’t get consistent headshots. Here’s why:

Know Your Game Genre

“Gamers” should get their game genre (RPG, Action, Driving, etc) right. We can all argue that any game is an “adventure” but there is a reason why several game genres were coined over the years. I believe the reason was to differentiate games and lessen the confusion as to what one can expect from any particular game.
