To begin with, I already had some prior knowledge on what trends certain VR companies were looking to adapt in the future. I enjoy keeping up with VR news outlets, and already knew about topics such as Valve’s interest in development of BCI’s (brain computer interfaces).
Beyond my own knowledge, I looked up a lot more articles on what certain companies like Oculus were interested in developing in the future for VR. Based on the articles I found, my own personal ideas of future trends I wished to address, and links to the subject matters discussed in our lectures, I was able to create a plan of the topics I would discuss in the essay. From there, I separated the topics into trends regarding software developments in VR, and trends regarding hardware developments.
