Dixons Carphone has revealed its PC gaming plans to PCR.
The Currys/PC World and Carphone Warehouse owner hasn't traditionally placed a big focus on this sector, but with gaming on the up, it confirmed it will be stocking more 'sophisticated' PC gaming systems in a number of its stores going forwards - as well as virtual reality devices.
The company opened its 'Gaming Bunker' in London two years ago, a specialist Currys/PC World store that lets customers play games and try out the latest accessories.
When asked how that has gone and what the future holds for Dixons Carphone in this space, chief executive Sebastian James told PCR: "The bunker is surprisingly good fun. It smells quite strongly of boys but it’s been quite good. We’re not going to roll that out anywhere, it needs to be very high footfall, it needs to be really central urban districts. But it’s been quite good for us.
"We’ve sold a lot of PC gaming accessories which are quite expensive and offer quite good margin for us, but they’re highly specialized.
"We will have some stores in which we will go for some of these more sophisticated gaming machines, but it is quite specialist and they are very expensive."
While Dixons Carphone said at the moment it won't be stocking any Steam Machines, which launch this November, it did identify virtual reality as a key emerging sector that it's working hard on.
Andrew Harrison, deputy group CEO at Dixons Carphone, added: "I think the interesting direction and the thing we’re quite excited about in the long term is virtual reality/augmented reality.
"From the things we’ve seen at the events we’ve got to go on, and some of the products available, you need very high-powered computers in order to do that. You need setup capabilities and a room to be able to do it in, and you need peripherals. People are going to need to come to physical retail places and explore what’s on offer.
"I think it’s quite exciting. I think it’s going to be one of the bigger trends over the coming years and we’re working quite hard on that in terms of how we bring that to consumers."
The execs were talking to the press following Dixons Carphone's first full-year trading results which were announced late last week.

With all of the cool features on the Raspberry Pi, it is somewhat notable that it lacks a power button. In a simple setup, the only way to cut power to the tiny computer is to physically remove the power cord. [Dalton63841] found that this was below his wife’s tolerance level for electronics, and built a simple remote control for his Raspberry Pi.
[Dalton63841] started this project by trying to use the UART TX pin, but this turned out to be a dead-end. He decided instead to use an Arduino to monitor the 3.3V power rail on the Pi. When the Pi is shut down in software, the Arduino can sense that the Pi isn’t on any more and disconnect the power. The remote control is used to turn the Pi on. The Arduino reads the IR code from a remote and simply powers up the Pi. This is a very simple and elegant solution that requires absolutely no software to be installed on the Raspberry Pi.
We know that this isn’t the most technically complex project we’ve ever featured, but it is a good beginner project for anyone just getting started with a Pi, Arduino, or using IR. Plus, this could be the perfect thing to pair up with abattery-backup Raspberry Pi shutdown device that allows it to power itself down in a controlled way when a power outage is sensed.

FlightAware is the premier site for live, real-time tracking of aircraft around the world, and for the last year or so, Raspberry Pi owners have been contributing to the FlightAware network by detecting aircraft flying overhead and sending that data to the FlightAware servers.
Until now, these volunteers have used Raspis and software defined radio modules to listen in on ADS-B messages transmitted from aircraft. With FlightAware’s new update to PiAware, their Raspberry Pi flight tracking software,Mode S transponders can also be detected and added to the FlightAware network.
Last year, FlightAware announced anyone with a Raspberry Pi, a software defined radio module, and an Internet connection would earn a free FlightAware enterprise account for listening to ADS-B transmitters flying overhead and sending that information to the FlightAware servers. ADS-B is a relatively new requirement for aviators that transmits the plane’s identification, GPS coordinates, altitude, and speed to controllers and anyone else who would like to know who’s flying overhead.
Mode S transponders, on the other hand, are older technology that simply transmits the call sign of an aircraft. There’s no GPS information or altitude information transmitted, but through some clever multilateration in the new PiAware release these transponders and planes can now be tracked.
To get the location of these transponders, at least three other PiAware boxes must receive a signal from a Mode S transponder. These signals, along with a timestamp of when they were received are then sent to the FlightAware servers where the location of a transponder can be determined.
The end result of this update is that FlightAware can now track twice as many aircraft around the world, all with a simple software update. It’s one of the most successful applications of crowdsourced software defined radio modules, and if you’d like to get in on the action, the FlightAware team put together a bulk order of ADS-B antennas.

Batman isn’t just the world’s greatest detective and an all-around crime-fighting hero – he’s also a savvy marketing tool.
The Dark Knight’s latest outing, Batman Arkham Knight, helped propel the US games market in June.
Warner Bros’ title topped the software rankings for the month, according to market tracker The NPD Group (viaVenturebeat), leading a June that was 21 per cent up in terms of software revenues compared to 2014 – the sector made $345.5 million last month.
Of course, it should be considered that last June was rather devoid of big triple-A releases, partially accounting for the growth this year.
Thanks to a marketing effort on PS4, which included a console branded with Batman's iconic cape and cowl and bundled with the game, Sony’s machine once again outsold the Xbox One, claiming the crown for best-selling hardware in June.
Despite this, hardware was up across the board, growing eight per cent over the last 12 months to hit $313.1 million last month.
All in all, boxed software and hardware was up a combined 18 per cent on 2014.
Meanwhile, SuperData Research (also via Venturebeat) adds its estimation that June generated $1.02 billion in digital game sales – an 18 per cent bump from last year. (NPD, much like the UK’s own GfK Chart-Track, only counts physical sales.)
Mobile alone grew by 20 per cent to reach $367 million, However, PC and console didn't suffer in the face of this expansion, growing itself by almost a third (30 per cent) to hit $314 million.
Interestingly, compared to the boxed success of new June-release games Arkham Knight, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited and LEGO Jurassic World, the digital rankings were topped by two games released before June – last year’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Grand Theft Auto V.
2013 release Call of Duty: Ghosts also made an appearance, slotting in at number six above relative newcomers Mortal Kombat X, Battlefield Hardline and Madden NFL 15.
Here are the Top Ten best-selling boxed games for June, according to The NPD Group:
- Batman Arkham Knight
- The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited
- LEGO Jurassic World
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Splatoon
- Minecraft
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Mortal Kombat X
- NBA 2K15
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
And here are the Top Ten best-selling digital titles for June, according to SuperData:
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
- Grand Theft Auto V
- The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel unlimited
- Batman Arkham Knight
- Destiny
- Call of Duty: Ghosts
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Mortal Kombat X
- Battlefield Hardline

Virtual reality firm Oculus has acquired an Israeli company behind a 3D hand-sensing technology.
Pebbles Interfaces can accurately model a user’s hands and integrate them and their movements in a 3D environment. The VR applications are quite obvious.
The value of the deal has not been announced.
“At Pebbles Interfaces, we’ve been focused on pushing the limits of digital sensing technology to accelerate the future of human-computer interaction,” Pebbles CTO Nadav Grossinger said.
“Through micro-optics and computer vision, we hope to improve the information that can be extracted from optical sensors, which will help take virtual reality to the next level. We’ve always believed visual computing will be the next major platform in our lifetime, and we’re excited to join the Oculus team to achieve that vision for the future.”

It's pretty easy to see why Oculus VR wanted to scoop up this company:Pebbles Interfaces specializes in technology that detects hand movement via "custom optics, sensor systems and algorithms," the Oculus blog explains. "Over time, technology breakthroughs in sensors will unlock new human interaction methods in VR and revolutionize the way people communicate in virtual worlds." We're talking about hands as controllers in virtual reality here. Pebbles joins the hardware engineering and computer vision teams at Oculus, where it hopes to make VR more immersive with improved human-computer interaction.

The latest video game craze in Japan is yet to run out of steam.
The Yo-Kai Watch franchise has already shifted more thanseven million copies, propelled by the success of the first two entries in the series.
Last week, the latest title from developer Level 5, Yo-Kai Watch Busters, shot straight to the top of the Japanese retail charts, shifting almost 700,000 copies in its first week on sale.
Busters is based upon a mini-game in predecessor Yo-Kai Watch 2, allowing players to take control of the titular creatures in order to take down bosses.
Meanwhile, a prequel instalment in the cult Ace Attorney series, Dai Ace Attorney: Naruhodo Ryunosuke no Boken, landed in second place, selling over 136,000 units during its debut week.
Both 3DS-exclusive titles, Busters and Ace Attorney helped Nintendo’s New 3DS XL handheld remain top of the hardware heap, comfortably out-selling Sony’s competing Vita. However, New 3DS XL sales were only marginally higher than the week previous.
The Vita was helped into second place by the release of Taiko Drum Master: V Version for the platform, which was the third-best-selling game of the week.
Further down, rhythm game spin-off Persona 4: Dancing All Night vanished from the software Top Ten after just two weeks in the chart.
Here is the Top Ten for the week ending July 12th, according to the latest Famitsu data:
- Yo-Kai Watch Busters: Akaneko-dan / Shiroinu-tai (Level 5) 3DS – 688,386
- Dai Ace Attorney: Naruhodo Ryunosuke no Boken (Capcom) 3DS – 136,191
- Taiko Drum Master: V Version (Bandai Namco) Vita – 41,400
- Fire Emblem Fates: White Kingdom / Black Kingdom (Nintendo) 3DS – 31,523
- Rhythm Heaven: The Best+ (Nintendo) 3DS – 24,033
- Splatoon (Nintendo) Wii U – 22,860
- Cho Tosochu: Atsumare! Saikyo no Tososha-tachi (Bandai Namco) 3DS – 14,864
- Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition (Sony) Vita – 9,642
- Mario Kart 8 (Nintendo) Wii U – 7,022
- Tobidase Dobutsu no Mori (Animal Crossing: New Leaf) (Nintendo) 3DS – 5,457
And here are the hardware rankings for the same period:

Oculus founder Palmer Luckey has dismissed concerns that the Rift virtual reality headset will be designed as a closed ecosystem.
A Reddit thread attempting to dissuade readers from buying the upcoming consumer version of the VR device cited Oculus’ funding of two dozen Rift-exclusive titles as a sign that the headset would adopt ‘console tactics’ of locking players to a single platform.
Responding to the accusations, Luckey insisted: “The Rift is an open platform, not a closed one.
“You don't need any kind of approval to make games for the Rift, and you can distribute those games wherever you want without paying us a penny.
“We are not trying to lock the Oculus ecosystem to our own hardware, either – we already support Samsung's GearVR headset, in addition to our own hardware.”
Directly referencing the games being backed by Oculus, which include Edge of Nowhere (pictured) from Ratchet and Clank and Sunset Overdrive developer Insomniac, Luckey suggested that the titles wouldn’t exist in any form if it weren’t for the support.
“What we are doing is working with external devs to make VR games,” he explained.
“These are games that have been 100% funded by Oculus from the start, co-designed and co-developed by our own internal game dev teams.
“The majority of these games would not even exist were we not funding them, it is not like we just paid for exclusivity on existing games - making high quality VR content is hard enough to do when targeting a single headset, trying to support every single headset on the market with our own content is just not a priority for launch.
“Most companies would have done this as a 1st party software development effort, but we decided it would be better to work with existing developers who wanted to get past the bean counters and make sweet VR games.”
The consumer version of the Oculus Rift headset is due out in the first half of 2016, following the release of multiple development kits over the last several years.

A new study has found that the majority of teenage boys in the US believe that games unfairly treat women as sex objects.
A Time study by Rosalind Wiseman asked US school boys whether they believed “female characters are treated too often as sex objects” in video games. 47 per cent of middle school boys (11-13) agreed or strongly agreed, while this number grew to 61 per cent for high school boys (14-18).
Comments included “if women are objectified like this it defeats the entire purpose of fighting” and “I would respect the [female] character more for having some dignity”.
The study also found that the gender of a game’s protagonist does not impact kids’ likelihood to play them, with 70 per cent of girls and 78 per cent of boys saying it doesn’t matter.
“When the ads for Game of War started showing up on my students’ phones last year – they haven’t stopped – many were annoyed,” Wiseman said. “They hated that it was impossible to close the ad, forcing them instead to watch the video until the end.
“But what really irritated them was Ms Upton, in a full-cleavage-baring white flowing dress. The ads are clearly effective for some, but the message is obvious: Game of War is a boys’ game, and Upton is the game’s mascot, walking through battles totally unscathed and doing nothing except looking pretty.
“Action games with big battles like Game of War are incredibly exciting to kids. And kids I’ve worked with, both male and female, will put up with a lot to play exciting games. But it doesn’t mean they like the way women are portrayed. Yet the video game industry seems to base much of its game and character design on a few assumptions, among them that girls don’t play big action games, boys won’t play games with strong female characters, and male players like the sexual objectification of female characters.”

After two weeks at No.1, Warner Bros’ Batman: Arkham Knight is pushed to second place by Codemasters’ F1 2015.
Week one sales of F1 2015 are 367 per cent higher than last year’s entry in the racing series as the series debuts on the PS4 and Xbox One consoles.
Sales of Arkham Knight, meanwhile, are down 54 per cent week-on-week, but it charts ahead of fellow Warner Bros title LEGO Jurassic World.
Towards the bottom of the Top Ten, both console editions of Minecraft saw sales increases this week. The Xbox Edition rose six per cent, while the PlayStation SKUS saw a 12 per cent rise. This is likely due to the excitement following last week’s Minecon at London Excel.
And as the summer period gets into full swing, a few games are helped by retail promotions. Disney Infinity 2.0 sales increase 59 per cent this week thanks to price activity, and the toys-to-life title rises from No.26 to No.13.
Below is the software Top Ten for the week ending July 11th:
1. F1 2015 (Codemasters/Bandai Namco)
2. Batman: Arkham Knight (Warner Bros)
3. LEGO Jurassic World (Warner Bros)
4. The Elder Scrolls Online (Bethesda)
5. Grand Theft Auto V (Rockstar)
6. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (CD Projekt RED/Bandai Namco)
7. Minecraft: Xbox Edition (Microsoft)
8. Minecraft: PlayStation Edition (Sony)
9. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Activision Blizzard)
10. Destiny (Activision Blizzard)

Virtual reality company Oculus is funding development of “about two dozen” virtual reality games via its Oculus Studios program.
“We have a pretty big investment into Oculus Studios’ triple-A, high production value games,” Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe told Gamasutra. “Oculus VR is a gaming-built, owned and operated company. We’re developers at heart.”
Apparently the projects are a mixture of games that were pitched to the company and games that Oculus itself has conceived and approached a development partner to make. The company has also invested in a number of non-exclusive VR titles and established a $10m indie developer fund.
Iribe also moved to quell concerns that the company’s acquisition at the hands of Facebook has forced away from pure game development and toward broader entertainment output.
While the company has diversified into a wider range of entertainment products, Iribe reiterated that games remain the primary focus and that the company was built and is staffed by game developers.

Thousands upon thousands of young people – decked out in branded t-shirts – swarmed around a sold-out Wembley Arena in April this year.
But they weren’t there to see Taylor Swift or Fall Out Boy, these music lovers were queuing up to witness the London Philharmonic Orchestra perform classic songs from The Legend of Zelda video games.
“Video games, to me, represent the highest level of artistic talent, even more than films,” insists Jason Michael Paul, the man in charge of pulling The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses together.
“These musical scores are being performed by some of the best orchestras in the world, and acceptance by music fans is becoming more common.”
According to The Official Charts Company, video game soundtracks generated £223,000 in the UK last year, which is a relatively miniscule figure but a growing one.
Yet that number only tells part of the story. Last April’s gig was the third time the Zelda concert has toured the UK in the last four years, while a rival event – Video Games Live – has just sold out of three shows in Germany for the beginning of next month.
Meanwhile, anyone who attended Paul McCartney’s recent gigs in the UK may have been surprised to see the song he wrote for the Destiny soundtrack receive a full airing. Video game music has always been popular, but never before have we seen it infiltrate mainstream culture so frequently.

As the audience for gaming video content nears half a billion people, a new report has highlighted live streaming’s quick rise to the top.
468 million viewers around the world now digest games-related video content such as walkthroughs, trailers and live streams, according to research firm SuperData’s Gaming Video Content Market Brief 2015.
The majority of these (seven in 10) check out game trailers, with two-thirds of self-proclaimed ‘hardcore’ gamers watching live streams and a third of the same hardcore audience viewing eSports.
All in all, the gaming video market is said to be worth an estimated $3.8 billion. More than three quarters of this, $2.9 billion, is brought in by advertising and sponsorships, with content creators seeing a collective $890 million of the cash.
The news comes days after it was revealed that prominent YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg haddoubled his earnings over the last year, reeling in $7.45 million during 2014.
Kjellberg is a rarity among his YouTube peers, however, as SuperData believes newly-Amazon-owned live streaming platform Twitch generates more games video revenue than Google’s video service, primarily thanks to the drive for subscriptions and donations on the former.
Despite this, YouTube remains the bigger outlet for gaming video, drawing more viewers in total. Only 10 per cent of viewers visit what SuperData refers to as ‘new video platforms’.
The streaming audience is invested, however – almost half (44 per cent) of viewers pay for subscriptions, spending around $21 monthly on paid content and donating $4.64 on average to streaming personalities each month.
SuperData adds its expectation that the number of players watching gaming video content online will rocket to 790 million by 2018.
Unsurprisingly, North America leads the way when it comes to video content, expected to bring in $1.49 billion this year. Europe is second-biggest, with a $1.14 billion market size. Asia sit at third with a sector roughly half that of the US – $701 million.

What's more, 70 percent of girls surveyed said that the gender of a protagonist doesn't factor into them playing a game while a surprising 78percent of boys said the same. And 58 percent of boys who identified as gamers think there should be more female heroes in game, like Bayonetta up above, for example. Oh, and reassuringly "very few" of the respondents knew what Gamergate was. Phew.

If you thought wearing a Google Glass headset was awkward, things could get even weirder. The Mountain View company was awarded a patent this week for tech that enables a Glass-like head-mounted display to automatically take pictures when it recognizes your fingers. Specifically, it snaps a pic when you make one of those finger frames like you've seen movie directors use. The patent document also explains that the device can change the orientation of the image based on the positioning of your hands. For example, if you made a circular "O" shape with one hand, you'd end up with a round picture. And the same goes for using two hands to frame a rectangular portrait.

If you're eager to try on HTC's Vive VR headset, which blew us away back at Mobile World Congress, you may soon have your chance. HTC just announceda world tour for the Vive, starting this week at San Diego Comic-Con, stretching all the way into the Paris Games Week in November. You can check out a full list of cities and dates below, but take note that they're subject to change. The Vive, developed together with Valve, is a VR headset similar to the Oculus Rift, but it also includes some positional laser sensors which can track your movement around a room. It was so immersive it made Engadget's Nicole Leea believer in VR. Our only issue with this news? We're noticing a distinct lack of East Coast dates. New York City wants to see the Vive already, HTC!
