The 2023 Game Developers Conference is in the history books, and GDC2023 had the industry looking squarely toward the future. The show was filled with new tech that brings players deeper into virtual worlds than ever before. Have a look:

"To measure their position in 3D, in real time, so that we can capture their exact movements," explained OptiTrack sales director Thierry Chevalier."We would then be able to get pro-level skaters to have their own signature tricks within the game."

They wound up making two games — including the mobile rhythm-based game"Fray Jam," now available on Apple's App Store, and a more intricate PC game that's now in the final stages of production, Duhamel said. The games follow the storyline of the dance show, and share some of the choreography too. With all the focus on emerging technologies like VR and AR headsets and NFTs, Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney reminded the audience that millions of people already immerse themselves in wide-open metaverses every day using only their smartphones and desktop computers.

"You're stationary, but you have infinite movement," explained PNI sales director Won Cho as he demonstrated the new chair."When you press the pedal down, goes forward. When you press it backwards, it would go backwards." The wooden shopping cart is part of a two-player video game called"Grocery Trip" that began as a student project. One player pushes and steers the cart, while a second player sits in the cart, grabbing items from shelves and punching other customers who get in the way. Brugioli said it was inspired by real-life events.

"Haber Dasher" is a research project by Ph.D. candidate Erin Truesdell that requires two players to jointly steer a single avatar by placing their heads inside a giant shared hat. Nearly the size of a small car, the hat hovered high above the other exhibits, dangling from the ceiling on heavy duty steel cables. Players shouted directions to each other as they attempted to tilt the hat brim in different directions to navigate.
