READY PLAYER ONE

The first time I heard about “Ready player one” was when the movie trailer was published. It caught my attention immediately because of the several animation, game and movie references from the 80s up to our time. While listening to the book, I kept imagine living in a virtual reality world and play games as part of your daily routine. The idea of having VR classrooms blew my mind. Infinite resources and detailed multi media presentations can improve the education and encourage students to participate voluntarily instead of forcefully sitting in class and pretend to be listening. I believe it is possible even with the current technology to set up courses using VR but it would be costly since it is a growing and relatively new technology.

At some point in the story when Wade is searching to collect keys, he has to act as the character in an old movie. This could be an interesting concept for a video game. Imagine playing as your favorite character in a movie you have probably watched multiple times since you were a kid. The game concept can be either following the exact narrative or only using the original film/animation as an overall concept and give players more options to play the game.
