“…A VR/AR gaming increase interest and attracts more users to play games, and this technology provides a more realistic environment to enjoy games so; users continue to play games [18,21,22]. In this situation, the user is isolated from the world and social distances will increase and also harmful for health.…”

Nowadays, users are moving from old 2D screens to modern devices such as 3D screens and virtual reality devices to enjoy videos and games like real-world experience, and this demand increased further development. Virtual Reality (VR) is based on the creation of a simulated environment of real-world with computer creation, and Augmented Reality (AR) is based on the addition of simulation components (environment) in the real-world scene. In this paper, systematic analysis of relationships and features both VR and AR varies by outline, arrangement, administrations, and devices for associations and clients. This paper provides a difference between AR and VR, advantages, future, and open research issues.

“…Cloud Gaming is a new approach that looks for reducing the computational processing effort in the client-side, thus delegating several tasks to the server-side. The server acts on behalf of the client replicating user actions and game logic with the external online gaming server located somewhere on the Internet [ 4 , 5 ]. In this way, some companies, such as Google or Nvidia, have begun to provide Gaming as a Service (GaaS) with their platforms Stadia and GeForceNow respectively.…”

Cloud Gaming is a cutting-edge paradigm in the video game provision where the graphics rendering and logic are computed in the cloud. This allows a user’s thin client systems with much more limited capabilities to offer a comparable experience with traditional local and online gaming but using reduced hardware requirements. In contrast, this approach stresses the communication networks between the client and the cloud. In this context, it is necessary to know how to configure the network in order to provide service with the best quality. To that end, the present work defines a novel framework for Cloud Gaming performance evaluation. This system is implemented in a real testbed and evaluates the Cloud Gaming approach for different transport networks (Ethernet, WiFi, and LTE (Long Term Evolution)) and scenarios, automating the acquisition of the gaming metrics. From this, the impact on the overall gaming experience is analyzed identifying the main parameters involved in its performance. Hence, the future lines for Cloud Gaming QoE-based (Quality of Experience) optimization are established, this way being of configuration, a trendy paradigm in the new-generation networks, such as 4G and 5G (Fourth and Fifth Generation of Mobile Networks).

“…The idea of cloud gaming is to play on a remote server and then stream the games over the internet to the user's device. The user's device does not need the hardware capability to run the game, since all the rendering of the game will be done at the server-side, saving the user the cost of getting a high-end GPU powered device [2]. This enables many devices such as phones, tablets, and PCs to run high-end hardware intensive games at satisfactory quality.…”

Using subjective testing, we study the effect of the network parameters, delay and packet loss ratio, on the QoE of cloud gaming. We studied three different games, selected based on genre, popularity, content complexity and pace, and tested them in a controlled network environment, using a novel emulator to create realistic lognormal delay distributions instead of relying on a static mean delay, as used previously; we also used Parsec as a good representative of the state of the art. We captured user ratings on an ordinal Absolute Category Rating scale for three quality dimensions: Video QoE, Game-Playability QoE, and Overall QoE. We show that Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) for the game with the highest levels of content complexity and pace are most severely affected by network impairments. We also show that the QoE of interactive cloud applications rely more on the game playability than the video quality of the game. Unlike earlier studies, the differences in MOS are validated using the distributions of the underlying dimensions. A Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test showed that the distributions of Video QoE and Game Playability QoE are not significantly different.
