Yes, we are all very different as individuals in what we like and how we are affected by external stimuli and, as such, are affected very differently by the entertainment that we access and enjoy. However, it is argued herein that the visual aspect of our entertainment is the most important factor and that this can be seen in the games, media, and entertainment that we now spend most of our free time engaging with online.
Visual Stimulation
Being able to communicate an idea and share a feeling using visuals has been a major component of modern life, and from the movies that we watch to the marketing that we are subjected to, it has proven to be a lot more successful if it is based on the visual. As a society, we are known to enjoy watching movies, films, and even advertisements, the visual is just something that is enjoyed by us all, and upon which our entertainment is based. One of the simplest ways of looking at it is that visuals are processed a whole lot faster by the brain than interaction with any of the other senses. Furthermore, as the eyes are the fastest route to the brain, cogent communication and the ability to transfer and communicate feeling must start with the visual.
Good visuals must be able to tell a story that can stand alone without the narrative or spoken word, and this has been seen in the rise of the short video clip on social media. These clips have been able to go viral, simply based on what they show, and in the briefest of moments. The new social media platforms are all about immediacy and the ability to share visuals as they happen and in real-time.
Hence, the best modern online casino sites and the best-loved computer games have at their very heart the visual. The music is there, and perhaps some gamers hear it, but it’s the visuals and the sights and lights that can take you on a journey into the actual casino.
Virtual Reality Is Premised on the Visuals Being Clear
One of the biggest issues with perfecting virtual reality has been the importance of what we see. The visuals need to be glitch-free and consistently clear. As soon as there is a visual doubt or a lag in the virtual movement, there can be no virtual reality. This is a clear example of exactly how important the visuals of any entertainment are. The future of entertainment is still based on that which started it all, the visual representation, and the ability to transfer visuals into feelings.
It should now be crystal clear that the visuals are the basis of all our entertainment, and it is the visuals that entice us and draw us in, to keep us entertained, and watching. It’s the games, films, and social platforms that allow for the visuals to be key that have done the best and will continue to do so going forward.
