[p]Can you imagine a person building a robot just for the sake of adding a touch of reality into a fighting ga[span style="font-weight: normal;"][/span]me?

[/section][article][section][section][div][p]No? Well, as weird as it may sound, especially considering all the concerns over killer robots, a robotics engineer has done just that.

[p]He designed a bot that fights back in real life if you hit it in VR.

[p]Here's more.

[br][p]For the uninitiated, VR gaming revolves around wearing a headset, like Microsoft's HoloLens, and playing in a 3D virtual environment.

[p]The player interacts with their environment and the moves reflect in the virtual world which they see through the headset.

[p]So, if they're fighting in a VR game, they'll be moving their fists around to beat the crap of the opponent in virtual reality.

[/div][div][section][div][/div][/section][/div][div][div][div][/div][h5]Changes[/h5][/div][h2]James Bruton, however, tweaked this concept[/h2][p]For adding some excitement into the good old concept of VR gaming, robotics engineer and YouTube creator James Bruton worked with students from the University of Portsmouth to create a VR fighter.

[p]It's a machine, built from 3D-printed custom parts, that fights back in response to your moves in custom made virtual reality fighting game, [em]The Verge[/em] reported.

[/div][div][div][div][/div][h5]Working[/h5][/div][h2]How this VR fighting game works[/h2]

[br][p]Standing on a wheeled wooden base, the VR robot uses an Arduino Mega interface to hit back.

[p]The movement of its boxing-glove wearing pneumatic punching arms are tracked by trackers from HTC's Vive headset and synced with a custom-made VR game.

[p]The player, in turn, sees the robot's character in the game and interacts with his environment, engaging with bot physically in the process.

[/div][div][div][div][/div][h5]Possibility[/h5][/div][h2]Imagine the possibilities here[/h2][p]A robot hitting back from the world of VR is pretty interesting.

[p]It can lead to the development of some brilliant games in future; imagine something like Fight Night or Punch-Out with a robot.

[p]However, at the same time, many would also argue that getting into a fist-fight with a machine might not be the best of ideas, especially with AI on the rise.
