Broken Record The Asian Poker Tournament this year broke tons of records on the PKR schedule, as the famous virtual reality platform attracted some of the biggest players in the online poker industry. The FaceGen application is the technology that makes an accurate rendering of each player, and in real time creates animations that go with the action that he or she is currently taking. Such technology has been unheard of, that is, until now.Each of the four APT pro players had their own animated avatar through FaceGen, which made it all the more satisfying if anybody actually succeeded in beating one of them out. On top of that satisfaction, that player also was rewarded with a seat in the Main Event in Manilla.So many people logged on for their chance to beat, let alone play against, these four star players, that it bogged down PKR’s system and broke the record for the largest tournament the organization has ever had. In addition to PKR’s excellent reputation of always headlining the biggest names in the industry, the company always prides themselves on keeping ahead of the game in terms of technology. The entire experience is unique because it is an immersive virtual poker reality, and so the combination is understandably one of the best in the international poker market.Back to November 2008 Archive. |
