What comes to your mind the moment you hear the words 'Virtual Reality Games'? Do you imagine yourself entering into a strange simulated computer world, where there are a host of exciting adventures and monstrous game characters attacking you? Virtual reality (VR) is a world of make, believe, and vision. Games elevate such a vision to a level where a user can interact with several objects and events in an imaginary world by simply surrounding himself with sound and sight, in real time. To create a virtual environment, one needs a computer, some special software, and of course, a little imagination. With generations rolling exceedingly, technology is passing by like a flash of light. In modern times, it has become easy for the programmers to develop Web browsers, Internet software, and different computer languages, which are instilled into a 3-dimensional imaginary space zone. In such a zone, the user can enjoy the game's entertainment, the landscapes, or a set of information that is placed before him in the most liberal way possible. Here are the names of the software programs that support this:

• 3DML: 3DML is a 3-dimensional modeling language where, after a plug-in has been installed, a user can visit a website through their browsers.
• Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML): VRML is the Web's most primitive 3D modeling language.
• X3D: X3D replaced VRML to create higher standards of virtual environment over the Internet.
• Collaborative Design Activity (COLLADA): COLLADA supports the possibility of interchanging files within 3D programs.

Experts say that, virtual environment is not at all possible over the Internet without an HMD (Head Mounted Display). It consists of a full faced helmet or a pair of goggles and a head tracker. When a user wears the HMD, he/she will see a tiny monitor in front of each eye. These two monitors facilitate images to appear in a 3-dimensional sense and the head tracker facilitates a change to the head movements. Thus, if the HMD is absent, the idea of a virtual environment will lack critical parameters like display and tracking of life-sized images. Games For Kids
