Rummy is one of the interesting card game enjoyed by most of
the adults in India. Since the game had some legal issues in the past in India,
it was mostly played in secrecy among adults. Now that the Supreme Court has
legalised rummy citing it as a skill game, hundreds of online rummy sites have
sprung up. It’s up to the customers to
find an authentic rummy site. Rummy game played traditionally with cards
transformed from its original form to the online version after the advent of
technology. Now with the technology going full guns blazing, the game is
available to play in your mobiles in the form of mobile Apps. So, what will be the next transformation? How
can we foresee the game of rummy’s future? Here we present to you some possible
ways the rummy game could be played in the future in a purely hypothetical
manner.
Immersive Gaming (Virtual
Reality)
Immersive Gaming (Virtual Reality) is a perception of being
physically present in a non-physical world. The perception is created by
surrounding the user of the VR system with images and sound. This technology
was used in the James Cameron’s blockbuster movie Avatar. As you can in the
movie, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) enters the Virtual world of the Pandora’s
biosphere using the Avatar program of the military which is the direct
resemblance of the Virtual Reality concept. On the contrary, Rummy will be no
stranger to this technology as the game has already evolved from the
traditional environment into Online and Mobile App technologies as we speak.
Virtual Reality is actually a technology resurfaced recently in the 2000’s
which was originally created by Dr. Jonathan Waldern in the 90’s.
Secondary Screens
for Gaming
With the booming market for handheld devices like smart-phones
and tablets, the console war between the three major brands (Sony, Microsoft,
and Nintendo) has intensified, with a rush to invent a secondary gaming device
for players. Wii U Gamepad is one of the latest gaming consoles created by
Nintendo which can actually be used as a secondary screen that lets you screen
your enemies inside buildings, access the map or use your inventory seamlessly
without leaving the game field. These Secondary screens have already been
incorporated into popular games like Batman Arkham City Armoured Edition WiiU,
Marvel- the Avengers Battle for Earth. Similarly, Rummy game has also got a
chance to be part of this console in the future as you can use the secondary
screen to take a closer look at the table and also drag and drop the cards on
the table like a real player sitting at the table.
Open Source Gaming
Open source gaming is a concept of free gaming development
kit for game lovers. Instead of Gamers or gaming companies buying independent
software kits for developing, they can go for open source gaming. For instance,
Ouya is an Android-powered, upcoming video game console used exclusively for
bringing the game directly into your television sets. Similarly, Rummy can also
be brought into our television sets or living room and enjoyed in 1080P HD in-tune
with this latest technology.
Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality is a technology for games that lets a
player to interact with the surroundings in real-time. In a game like Droid Shooting you can hold
your smart-phone up and shoot targets that may appear from anywhere. This is
tipped to be the most exciting development in video gaming industry and it is
already generating a lot of buzz. What does Rummy get to do with AR in the
future? Let’s say you and your friends start a rummy game sitting in a coffee
shop facing each other. When you start playing the game you will naturally feel
like you are playing inside a casino as Augmented reality brings in the
realistic table into the virtual world.
Cloud Gaming
With Cloud Gaming, we need not wait forever to get updates
to high-quality games. It’s all in the cloud and all we have to do is connect
to it with a stable Internet connection and play to our heart’s content. This
cloud helps us to play games at ease and cheaper. SimCity –Build it, is one
such game designed by EA sports for android and IOS devices. The game utilizes
Could gaming technology and it can be played both in offline and Online Mode. The
advantage of this game is when you are playing in Offline mode all your data
will be merged with the server when you turn on your internet.
Rummy will also be enhanced with cloud gaming technology for
players both online and offline players who cannot afford Internet facilities
in their surroundings. This technology will be useful in taking the game to
rural areas that are facing connectivity issues.
