DOF means degrees Of Freedom

DOF (or level of freedom) is a term you encounter at VR, and then it mainly concerns the two terms 3DOF and 6DOF. Both indicate how much freedom of movement you have: with 3DOF it is about moving forward, backwards and up/down. At 6DOF come there: deviation, height and roles. The developments in the field of sensors and controllers are going very quickly so 6DOF will become more common. Incidentally, you'll also find terms like 3DOF and 6DOF in normal (non-VR) games.

What is a gadget?

What is the meaning of Leave a comment

A gadget is a thing

A gadget (a thing, Gizmo) is an article that is innovative and often cleverly designed. Often a gadget is a consumer electronics product (but it doesn't have to be). The technology or design is innovative, so a trendsetter likes to buy it. Often a gadget is also purchased as a status symbol. A gadget is especially interesting at the beginning (and even then it is more frequent for the entertainment purchased, and not so much for its functionality), later there are too many people who have it too, and it is not interesting anymore to have (or to show off). A gadget is often purchased online, in a special gadget or gift shop.
